> Where does 'protecting our kids' start?
It starts with parents, who's responsibility it is to supervise their children and educate them about how to use the Internet responsibly. If you're reliant on easily-circumvented blacklists to protect your kids, you're doing it wrong. Specifically, the responsibility (with regards to Internet content) does not rest with a government.
> Is prohibiting something always 'censorship'?
Yes (at least when the thing being prohibited is information). That's what censorship is.
One can validly argue about whether or not a particular instance of censorship is right or wrong, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still censorship.
