QUOTE(HRIP7 @ Fri 9th March 2012, 3:31am)  Obviously not completely, but then again, neither is the Internet in general. Now I think they have selective Internet filters that allow parents or schools to block certain pages (such as Wikipedia's pornography article) but just like any filter for any purpose, kids are smart enough to get around them if they're really horny. |

You must know this guy : QUOTE Mark Janssen, Dreamer-Pragmatist. 2 votes by Michael Fine and Brandon Harris While I appreciate the concern over children, I have to wonder is the world appropriate for kids? I mean, the world is 99% an "adult"-centered place. A child has more danger being hit and killed by a car crossing the street than being damaged by an image or article in Wikipedia. ....Wikipedia, where convicted child molesters can anonymously "educate" children.... By the way, Sue Gardner has been made aware of all of this. I wonder if she's going to make some sort of statement? |

Some very good answers posted so far. I don't think anyone from the WMF will try to give an answer, because they have no case.

QUOTE(Cla68 @ Fri 9th March 2012, 2:33pm) Some very good answers posted so far. I don't think anyone from the WMF will try to give an answer, because they have no case. Sure they responded. Brandon Harris, who is WMF employee, and two other poster kids of Wikipedia voted for this comment: QUOTE Mark Janssen, Dreamer-Pragmatist. 3 votes by Michael Fine, Brandon Harris, and Richard Symonds While I appreciate the concern over children, I have to wonder is the world appropriate for kids? I mean, the world is 99% an "adult"-centered place. A child has more danger being hit and killed by a car crossing the street than being damaged by an image or article in Wikipedia. Education is probably better than censorship, unless a opt-in filter is trivial enough to install. Otherwise the danger is that you create an "insulated garden" of a society that gives an incomplete (at best) or numb view of the world.Suggest Edits BTW this comment is quite stupid. Nobody is arguing that a kid could get hit by a car in a big city, but what it has to do with exposing children to pornography at the site that should provide education.
