The point that people are making is that while restricting overt internet porn does remove it from sight of a lot of kids, it will also continue to circulate as "samizdat" through whatever filesharing mechanisms exist. When I was at school someone got busted for distributing BBS porn on floppy disks, no network required. Now we have terabyte SD cards.




This samizdat is already in existence and the principal way my kids access inappropriate content.

Peer to peer, or peer to creepy pedo, is how the stuff gets passed around regardless.

Do you have any idea the sorts of things kids send via SMS?


Absolutely true. When I was a kid a few people got in trouble for drawing and circulating pixelated “porn” on their graphing calculators. You can’t stop teenagers from being teenagers.
