Do you want censorship to protect children or to muscle out the competition?

If you want it to protect children, why stop there? I'm sure you'd want to protect them from violent videos as well, and racists jokes, and special cake recipes and I'm sure some religious people will even want to protect their children from information about the theory of evolution....

If you want censorship because it was easier to make money back in 2000, you should spend more time coming up with new ways to make money instead of calling for censorship.

Censorship as a way to make money = an unethical way to enforce a cartel that would be unsustainable in a free market.
No the law about allowing children to view porn was me just using one example. So my stand is; Why should the Internet not be subject to a law that applies to non Internet businesses?

Not just the laws governing children being exposed to porn.
