#2Do we care? The next thing he will suggest: let's censor, let's break the web, let's put people in the jail, let's force parents to spy on their children, let's take parenting rights from ones who don't. Let's create a police state because he doesn't like porn.
His problems with porn is just his problems. I suggest dealing with it.

So you got to the end of the article that suggested none of these things and said to yourself "well he didn't say it but I bet he was thinking it"?

That's what actually gets proposed (and sometimes even passed) as laws each time.

While I agree entirely with you, another point the author of the article is making is that his problems may be typical in kids growing up with the world wide web at their fingertips.
That perspective brings us to a different question: What can we do to ensure safe and positive sexual development in children without censoring the web and imposing our generation's morals on the next?

I find it hard to imagine how such a comment could be written having read the article.
The whole point of the article was that it was not "just his problem", and beyond missing that point, the poster responds to a straw man not even hinted at in the article.
His inability to "deal with it" was the purpose of the article!

I don't see anyone asking this question sadly.
People who take the banned of protecting children from porn usually do this not from the safety & positivity point of view but from church & "morals" one. That's the most putrid, patronizing and hypicritical kind of people available; moreover, they don't see (or care) the relation of law and its effect (those two rarely match perfectly, sometimes not at all) and naturally they push for the measures I listed.
People who could ask this question never get any saying.

I've never seen anyone rallying to help me with my problems, some of which I might not be able to deal with, too.
