Re: LOL 66% lol, yeah and i'm the fricken pope, lol. Give me a break. These kids know they were looking it up, and wanted to see it. But it couldn't be the kid's fault, NO NO NO!!!! "My child would never look up porn. Jimmy's a good boy." Please!!! They are curious, but when they get caught, they always have to find someone else to blame. Never the parents fault, never Jimmy's fault, it's always the ISP or technolgy's. It the words of John John Stossel "Give me a break!" |

Just because you might seek out porn does not mean that everyone does. I know that when I am doing research I am lucky if I DON'T hit porn at least once.
And I know how subtle the difference is in addresses, my daughter was upset that she kept hitting a porn site with a link her teacher gave them to do some research on. Turns out the "l" was really a "1" (lowercase EL vice a numeric ONE?).

| I agree there is a lot of aggressive porn spam and many porn sites are based on slight misspellings of popular sites.
I once inadvertently mistyped a popular site that I visit nearly every day, by leaving a letter out of the middle of the name, and before I knew it I was looking at a woman with her jaw nearly dislocated choking on some guy.
This stuff isn't just sitting there waiting for people to look for it. It is aggressively promoting itself and people have every right to be offended by that and to want to protect their children from it. |

I think that's bogus about Mistyped or hijacked websites display porn, I haven't seen one of those in years.
All the porn I've seen, I've purposely been looking for - and I'm sure it's the same for most of those kids.

Mistyped and hijacked websites? Just because you might seek out porn does not mean that everyone does. I know that when I am doing research I am lucky if I DON'T hit porn at least once. There are laws already on the books regarding this. Did you report the offending website to the proper athorities? If not then you are part of the problem.

Then you were not properly protecting the compter. Please learn proper computer protection techniques. Not very hard. |

For the rest of us who are not looking for porn, we come across it all too often when we are doing any real work at all using the Internet. Even at my workplace with all the site/name blocking they do (which is a joke, blocks technical sites as well as the garbage ones) I still come across various levels of porn.
Yes, some of the kids surveyed are probaly like you, but most of them probably do have better things to do.

2. What good does it do to report a site not in the US?
3. How can I protect against someone registering a typo and putting porn on it? And what does the way an Internet address is typed in have to do with protecting a computer?
Oh, as far as protecting a computer, ours are so protected that we have to get permission to go to many sites that are TECHNICAL...and I still come across porn sites. If you can market a way to definitively block all porn AND still access 100% of non-porn sites, you would not have to work again.

I'll join pfak on this. When I was younger, and most of my friends were younger, we would look for porn and sure, if we got caught, it was always somebody else's fault... C'mon, most kids won't own up to what they did if they know that it's considered wrong. Even if it was completely obvious that you broke the plate, vase, trampled the flowers etc... you usually insisted that it was somebody else. There may of course be a small percentage of those with some "outstanding moral fibre" but I bet over 66% of those 66% were looking for some p...y  |

If you can market a way to definitively block all porn AND still access 100% of non-porn sites, you would not have to work again. As I said in over 5 years of surfing my son has NEVER once seen porn.
Some sites need pop-up that's why on those you set the pop-up block setting to allow pop-ups on that site. If that site is the one that's popping up porn perhaps you child doesn't need to be on that site anyways.
As far as misspllings. Most porn is not based on misspellings. If some porn site is using a misspelling of a popual non-porn site then I'm quite sure you you let the owner of the site whose name is being mispelled aware of this they will in fact take the proper legal measure to get rid of this site. Trust me no one is going to use a misspelling of Walmart, Disney, Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft etc for very long without getting sued.
Trust me some kid typing in bigtits.com or analsex.com did NOT get there by 'accident'. |

kudos:1 | said by BF69:Trust me some kid typing in bigtits.com or analsex.com did NOT get there by 'accident'. Yes, the obvious ones I agree with you. But while you may never make any mistakes in typing, some of us do. And you are right, the big names with a lot of money do take action. But there are many other sites that have not the resources to look for and fight all possible misspellings that are obvious trolls and as I have said before, I have found some of them.
Talking to folks in law enforcement, there is problem with the perverting of site names, especially ones that kids go to. Usually it is to dump trojans and the like, but also to get the older kids involved in porn since it is addictive to certain personality types.
I wish you luck in not ever having the misfortune of hitting a site that panders to the sicker personalities in society.

Yup. I've NEVER gotten to a porn site due to a mis-spelling. The only porn site that was like that was www.whitehouse.com. Of course, that no longer leads to the white house porn site anymore. The only time that i've gotten porn when I didn't want it, was when I visit various sites that offer other un-moral content, and have porn as advertisements, since those make more money.
These kids were purposely searching for porn, but then when found out, or asked about it, they just say it was a 'mistake'. The data shows that most teenagers jerk it once a day. (And I know I did..) They were purposely searching out porn, and for a useful purpose I might add. |

| You know, it's funny. I -have- come across sites like that, before.
One instance for example, was a few years back when I was trying to go to gamefaqs to look up some cheats for whatever game I was playing. By accident, I left out the s at the end, and it sent me to a rather explicit, gay porn website.
So, to those who say it doesn't happen, be glad you haven't had that happen, or that it hasn't happened to your kids. Because it damn well does happen. |

I have no patience with the idea that the burden falls on the person intruded upon to protect themselves, rather than on the intruder not to intrude. This is like telling a person who has a home invader that they deserve what they got because they didn't master home security techniques. Of course we would hope that people practice basic defensive procedures like locking their doors, but this still doesn't give anyone the right to invade someone's home.
It is not up to computer users to learn all the ways necessary to protect themselves from being intruded upon by sleazy people. Sleazy people are constantly developing news tricks to force their sleaze upon others. It is society's obligation to create and enforce rules that punish those sleazy people for their intrusion. |
