Censorship does not protect children. Instead, it instills in all, a fear of information. It can, has, and will be used as a tool of the government to harass anyone it feels is not cooperating with its master vision. Censorship occurs when a government does not care to listen to reason. It is an uninformed, panicked and over-broad response when a well-reasoned specific solution is needed. Only those messages that the government decides are "indecent" are controlled, while children continue to have full access to sites that individual parents may consider "indecent" or even dangerous. You see, censorship cares nothing for your opinion, only for groups with political clout. Censorship takes all and gives very little in return.
