On April 11 Senators Max Baucus from Montana and Mark Pryor from Arkansas announced that they will introduce the Cyber Safety for Kids Act in the United States Senate.
The bill will require pornographic websites to "flag" their website, making it easier for filters to identify and block such websites.
That filters are not a solution is no secret. Children can easily turn filters off or bypass them using any number of methods, including open proxies. Any solution that relies so heavily on a home-based filter is no solution at all.
While CP80 applauds efforts to protect children from Internet pornography this particular attempt is flawed. Even both Senators admitted this bill is not a cure-all. "They didn't build Rome in a day" explained Senator Baucus.
True. They also didn't build Rome by using methods they'd already proven to be problematic.
The CP80 Foundation is pleased to offer free training to individuals who wish to learn more about the Internet, pornography, current laws and the CP80 Internet Channel Initiative.
