Subj: Cyber-poronography ? A small trick to the (seemingly) big problem

I've recently written an article on the issue of cyber-porongraphy.

My idea is not censorship, rather, it is a kind of category system
that prevent children from accessing porongraphy materials.
In so doing, I hope the freedom of speech in the adults' world
can still be maintained.

Pls. read the articles (Big5) on
  http://www.cs.cuhk.edu.hk/~clement/articles/inman.html

HK Government is inviting Internet Services Providers (ISPs)
to comment on the cyber-porn issue,
I hope this articles is timely to the discussion.

My feeling is that ISPs are willing to do somethings on preventing 
cyber-porn, especially for the children, but they fear to be
held (legally) responsible for any materials they "carried".

My idea is to delineate the responsiblility 
of ISPs to a well-defined and limited set:

  ISP has to:
  1) setup special servers for children
  2) setup firewall/proxy to prevent children accessing 
     pornographic sites via the special server.

Of course, the responsiblility can be a legal obligation
or a "code-of-practice". The latter approach is preferrable
as long as self-regulation works and no one play
against it.

Cheers !
