Thanks for posting that. A great decision, imo. I can certainly see why people worry about the internet, but in a free country information is going to have its dangerous aspects. The government cannot make the internet sage for everyone without ruining it as a free medium- jmo

"The only way to protect children is to make sure they are educated so they can have a safe responsible experience," said Emily Sheketoff, executive director of the association's District office. "This technology is not protecting their children." Clearly this is far from resolved. For example, would the same advocacy groups use the same logic regarding fire arms? Can I establish shooting ranges within a recreation center with the simple guidelines that parents must educate their children on how to have a safe responsible experience. I suspect that these same groups are against allowing children to have access to guns and that they would not consider education as an adequate safeguard.
