Often times pornography sites will ask for a registration and a major credit card number. Forms are sent in the mail and logging onto a pornography site can be ... own children's online activities. They should manage their child's Internet usage as they would determine the kinds of movies available to be watched. (Censorship and the Internet 1) This can be done with software, not government intervention. As stated in "Censorship and the U.S. Government," "Censorship, like charity, should begin at home, but unlike charity it should end there" (Censorship and the U.S. Government 1), technology makes this possible. Internet providers, such as, America Online, Prodigy and CompuServe offer child functions to restrict sites determined by keywords, subject matter, or specific sites. Such software as "SurfWatch", "NET NANNY", and "CYBERsitter" offer a variety of options including blocking of specific sites, preventing children from revealing personal information, and keeping a record of the places visited while on-line (Censorship ...
