The government of Iceland is drafting plans to ban Internet pornography (and print, as well) in an effort to block children from seeing violent sexual images.
Proposed originally by Interior Minister Ogmundur Jonasson, the draft has already caused an uproar, as opponents say the move would censor the Web and encourage even more authoritarian regimes.
Advocates feel differently: "When ... [ read the full article ]

I have no issue with keeping porn from young children.
However, this latest attempt at censorship (notice how it's always "violent" or "brutal" porn they now claim is ubiquitous) is absurd.
Firstly we do not run everything on the basis of what is appropriate for children and we certainly don't ban anything else just because it isn't suitable for children.
Secondly it seems to me that this is just the latest chapter in the tactics of a certain POV which first of all thinks sex is bad and secondly has no idea of - or wish to acknowledge that - most porn is fantasy.
Lots of people (including several women I have know) like the fantasy of some S&M.
Not one of them - or anyone else I have ever known - would ever have found real violence or brutality anything other than a total turn-off.

This type of ban would prevent someone from seeing THIS post about porn on the internet.
It's all fine and good to want to "save the children", but you should not be doing it at the expense of everyone else.
Want to save your children? Try banning THEM from the internet because the internet is a place of adult ideas and morals that that might not be compatible with your own sense of morality.
Oh, Im sorry... Did the middle of my sentence interrupt the beginning of yours?

Indeed.
It seems to me so much of this relates to the sort of lazy parenting that expects to sit a child down in front of a TV or PC and not have to give them any concentration & time or supervision.
Get rid of that, that's pretty criminal in my mind.
Stop blaming normal adult behaviours.

Hmmm? There are many kids seeing this live in their school system now a days. They need not go to the internet.

And a warning screen would do what? The kids would just click through to get to what they want.

Nope, more like Sweden, but your close.
