Back to the porn threat

We all keep finding more things from which online kids need protection. The first blip on our radar screen was online pornography. Then it was predators (not to mention spyware, phishers, worms, etc.). Lately, with cyberbullying, blogging, and all manner of kid-published content, the lesson's about how they can protect themselves from each other and even themselves. Suddenly we're back to that first issue - protection against porn – because of the long wind-up to next fall's arguments between the Justice Department and the American Civil Liberties Union over the Child Online Protection Act in a federal court in Philadelphia. The San Francisco Chronicle takes a thorough look at how best to protect kids from porn – a law, filtering, or parenting. The answer is definitely not "none of the above."
