It's unfortunate that answers to internet pornography always come in the form of these unworkable filters. Politicians can only justify censoring pornography as "Parent's don't want their kids to see it!", rather than acknowledge it as a public health problem.
After seeing some of my friends fall prey to porn addiction, I think the sheer amount of porn on the internet is a problem. When porn was something you had to go get on your own, you were limited to a small selection. However, now new and harder materials are avalible instantly, and it creates a feedback loop where people can't have sex without it.
Really, a better answer would be to discuss pornography addiction as part of the sexual education curriculum, but too many people would consider it "teaching children porn".

- unimpressive 13y agoNormally the phrasing I used indicates satire. In my case I was entirely serious. (That is, I'm well aware that DARE does in fact seem to teach drugs.)
- cm2012 13y agoWhile the evidence seems to suggest that some people do get addicted to porn, the vast majority do not.
