Re: How to Sanitize the Internets from the Kidz Peeping.
Let's examine this idea.
1. Parents who want "sanitized" internet sign up with ISP to get their IPs put on a list.
* IPs change with DHCP, this would take some continuing work on the part of the ISP.
2. Some organization collects all the lists and gives them out to websites that the parents want kids not to see.
* Are all these parents going to agree on what websites they want to keep kids away from?
3. The websites drop requests from IPs on the lists.
* How are they going to get all these various websites, operated by many different organizations in many different places, to comply with this continual tinkering of their access lists?
* It would be easier for the ISP to offer the customer some sort of "pre-filtered" connection, with the ISP doing the work and using a commercial service to put sites on the list. But this isn't a radical new idea; it's already been done.
* Clever teenagers looking for sex sites will easily get around any restrictions. |
