MODERATORS
I think everyone can agree that child safety is important. But the fact internet as it stands is not safe for kids is completely undeniable.
As always, however, censorship is not the solution, especially not if it's headed by government. I'm honestly not sure what the solution is.
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.
Until kids learn to bypass Net Nanny by using the Tor network.
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.
