Re: Religion and porn

I was arguing about parental controls with a Catholic friend around 1996. I ended up sending him a list of sites that to make my point that the internet superhighway is NOT a place to let your kids play. As I recall, the first was gaynazis.com or something (a dating site). The next was Heaven's Gate (look it up). The last was silverdove.com "Sharing the love of Jesus with Catholics." I'm no Catholic, but I will get violent if you try to argue with me that a Catholic child should be given access to such a site without their parent's consent.

My point then, as it has always been, that we need some rich set of controls if we want to allow children to wander around on the internet. We seem to get an article or two every couple of years about particularly egregious situations, but there are some really twisted people out there.

As my twelve-year-old writer daughter found out in 2014 on a site that was supposedly safe.
