1) I've browsed the internet happily for many a year without having pornography 'shoved in my face'. If they find it, they were almost certainly looking for it. 2) If they're looking for it (see above) then an imperfect

A nice idea, but probably not a good one. The problems Tor would bring users in terms of slow connection, risk from malicious exit nodes etc. would outweigh any benefit for most people. Combine this with the fact that to gain anonmyity from
