"more parents need to watch what their children are doing on the internet" isn't that the bottom line to all of this? If a person decides to have children, then they need to take that responsibility seriously.
Seems instead of trying to remove every bit of offensive content from the net (an impossible task as US laws do not hold water in other countries), we ought to make parents restrict their kid's access (like I do and always will do -- no PCs in their bedrooms, they must surf "in public", so to speak). Seems like nothing worse than a "carseat law" for the Internet.
Ah, but I'm naive, I believe that parents should decide what is appropriate for their own children and keep their noses out of others' lives. And, if you have children, you are entirely responsible for them until they turn 21!
