Date: Tue, 27 Feb 1996 Sender: John Whiting <•••@••.•••> Subject: Porn and children May I suggest a problem for our consideration? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, but it is so obvious as to fall into the "emperor's new clothes" category. Namely: How is parent-installed software going to provide a solution to the censorship problem when, typically, the only person in the family who really understands computers is the child? Trudeau devoted a couple of Doonesbury strips to this, but who else? The whole farce reveals the desperate search for an acceptable fiction. Remember Tom Lehrer on New Maths? "So simple, so very simple, that only a child can do it." John Whiting Diatribal Press London
