2 edits | What's the real problem? I think it more appropriate to have the state department (assuming it's foreign sites) work with the country or countries where the sites are hosted to take down the sites which presumably are illegal there.
Banning sites doesn't solve the problem, it's just an attempt at masking it. If one's house is starting to burn down, one should try to put out the fire, not to close one's eyes. The problem with child porn isn't really the looking, it's the making of it. That which is bad is the effect on the children involved, not the perverts looking at it. Take down the sources or those making money off of it. Banning sites on systems probably isn't effective other than making a political gesture and bad precedent for banning of other things that are objectionable (like perhaps the other political party's website...). |

Buena Vista, VA | I agree that banning sites isn't the answer..and once we let them ban one or two sites then we only open a can of worms for them to be able to block whatever else. I don't agree with any site having child porn..but you have to nail the source of the site not limit ones viewing to it...thats like putting a drunk driver behind the wheel blind folded vs taking the keys away. |
