The story has already hit the papers, in the form of a ten column-inch
article in The Sunday Mail last year.

There was no furore, no controversy, no followup story.  It was just
a dead issue.

I believe it would be different if fourteen year-olds had access to
AARNet, but in general they don't.

Anyway, all that is beside the point.  Banning something simply
because the media might hear about it is abhorrent to me.
