The Internet is so ubiquitous and intertwined in daily life that that's impossible and you know it.

  I don't think the parent comment was suggesting disallowing access to the Internet entirely, but restricting the content that is accessible. Accessing pornographic material is obviously not a necessity for kids. That said, kids of course do often find a way around any blocks or filters put in place.

    Never underestimate being horny, curious and having copious amounts of free time. Having to go through hoops does make it clear you shouldn't be looking at it though.

  And "porn" (or anything you might want your children not to see?) is also ubiquitous and so intertwined with the internet that it's impossible to block ... and you also know it. Responsibility really is the only fix here. I know we love technical solutions to problems but either porn is illegal for everyone or it isn't.

    "Parental responsibility" is to parenting what "pilot error" was to plane crashes: a thought-terminating cliche that refuses to dig any deeper. When they stopped blaming crashes on "pilot error" they were able to properly investigate the causes of crashes and prevent more crashes. "Pilot error" is a suitable explanation if you are a mechanic investigating the crash. You determined that the plane moved the wrong way because the ailerons moved the wrong way because the pilot told them to move that way. It's not a suitable explanation for a final report because you need to find out why the pilot told them to move that way. Codeless Code 224
