    Its communication that harms young brains. Kids should never have unrestricted access to the internet.

      That sounds like censorship to me (and thus, a bad thing). Maybe it’s just because I come from a background where my ultra religious parents censored the entire secular world from me as a child, but I am firmly against any form of censorship.

        Goatse, tubgirl, meatspin, or the BME pain olympics are not exactly hallmarks of quality communication and restricting that type of content is valid for minors. It’s not censorship to try to avoid desensitizing kids too early. Sometimes, people need experience before they can see the horrors.

          I think they were referring to basic information censorship versus letting 10-year-olds/whatever aged minor have unfettered access to the entirety of the internet.

            Here are the lines from the guy I replied to:

            And…

            but I am firmly against any form of censorship.

            Allowing any censorship would be a bad thing, according to that poster, so I provided a reason why some censorship may be desired.

            Your argument is not on censorship yes or no, but on how far. That’s a different discussion.

              True, guess I interpreted it less literally. Who knows for certain besides OP, I suppose.

        kids need to have things restricted from them. If a parent believes something is harmful to their kid, then they need to restrict it from them.

      not really. kids need communication, as well as adults: since humans are such social animals. what harms young people more is stuff that decreases attention span, unrealistic body expectations, etc not “communication”
