We're all adults, we can monitor what we access and should be able to monitor what our children access in the same way. Once we start to allow some body, be it corporate or government, to censor things we don't like, it wont be long before they worry more about censoring things -they- don't like (or they don't like us to like and so-on). From there its a small step to censoring things they don't like said about them. Then it's hello Orwell.
