Censorship is fine as long as it's controlled exclusively by parents and caregivers. As soon a government, corporation, school, or any authority gets the slightest hint of control it always results in an abuse of power and manipulation.

I think the system is broken, but my opinion isn't of much value as I don't have a solution for the problem. It's a classic debate question.
