It would be nice if you had a counter of number of support entries somewhere on this site (header or sidebar would be best I think). I keep coming back to read new entries of bloggers but can’t remember who was the last person..

Great observation, Ilker! We have “numbers” now.

I support this campaign to force adult content websites to have a registration gateway to their site.

Hmm .. I can see where they’re coming from; but I’m not quite sure I agree with the sentiment. Would YOU password-protect your blog to make sure it’s only visible to a closed community? I wouldn’t, and wouldn’t expect other people to do it either.
Let us say, for the sake of argument, a webmaster DID password-protect his/her website; how would he/she know who to give the password to? Would you expect someone wanted access to post them a notarised copy of their birth certificate?
If under-18s want to get onto their website, they will anyway; I remember how ingenious I was as a curious teenager … I prefer focusing on educating my children, rather than trying to keep them in a padded cell to make sure they don’t hurt themselves!

I have three children and my wife and I have pretty much always had the agreement that it is OUR job to police our children and where they go on the internet, not anybody else’s. That’s how you turn them into successful adults, rather than people who think that it is somebody else’s job to take care of them. All that does is create a nation of people who are dependent on others to take care of themselves.

@ Owen: yes, I would password my blog if the content wouldn’t be safe for kids! I am aware that teens are ingenious, but it is still illegal for teens to watch porn – take a look at the landing page of Hustler, for example!
The information, links, images and videos contained on this web site are of a sexually explicit nature. If you are under the age of 18, or if it’s illegal to view sexually explicit material in your area, please leave now by clicking on the “EXIT” button below.
Please read, understand and comply with the following conditions before you continue:
1. I am at least 18 years of age.
2. The sexually explicit material I am viewing is for my own personal use and I will not expose minors to the material.
3. I desire to receive/view sexually explicit material.
4. The viewing, reading and downloading of sexually explicit materials does not violate the standards of my community, town, city, state or country.
5. I am solely responsible for any false disclosures or legal ramifications of viewing, reading or downloading any material in this site. Furthermore this website nor its affiliates will be held responsible for any legal ramifications arising from fraudulent entry into or use of this website.
6. I agree that by entering this website, I am subjecting myself to the personal jurisdiction of the State of California should any dispute arise at any time between this website and myself.
7. This warning page constitutes a legal agreement between this website and you.
8. All models/ actresses and actors whose images appear on this site are over the age of 18, have consented being photographed and/or filmed, have signed model release and provided proof of age.
9. If you’ve read and fully understand the above agreement, and you affirm and swear that viewing/downloading/receiving sexually explicit materials does not violate the standards of your community, that you won’t make any of the materials available to minors in any form, that you are wholly liable for any legal ramifications that may arise for your receiving or viewing of these materials and that you are over the age of 18 you may continue:
Note: Before continuing to enter this site, you must confirm the information below:
“I hereby affirm, under the penalties of perjury pursuant to 28 U.S.C. & 1746, that I am currently 18 years or older”
Providing a false declaration under penalties of perjury is a criminal offence. this agreement document constitutes a swarn declaration under federal law, and is intended to be governed by the electronic signature act
Do you honestly believe that teens care about such warnings? Do you believe they read them? Wouldn’t a password be easier and safer? Then they will be forced to read, during the registration process!
@Richard: some parents are unaware of what happens online. Their children are not guilty. We are ALL responisble.

Thank you for beginning the campaign as a mom of 4, this is so important to me.
hazel8500 // March 12, 2007 at 5:58 pm |
Wonderful Campaign. I’m in.
I will be back often to learn about what I can do to protect the innocent.
Thank you both so much for this initiative!
Hazel.

Keep fighting the good fight! People need to be more responsible in so many things. It’s way too easy to get at porn online.
Shako // March 21, 2007 at 4:39 pm |
It’s a great initiative. Please don’t stop!!! We need to save our children for a better tomorrow. Thanks!!

Phil Butler // March 29, 2007 at 3:19 am |
This is a very good thing you guys are doing. There is plenty of time for people to be grownups and so little for them to be innocent children.
It is our responsibility to protect those that can be taken advantage of so easily. Let me know how I can help.

Password protection on adult sites does seem like “common sense” approach — no less sensible than asking for proof of age when selling tobacco or alcohol, right? Good on you for launching this campaign.
Ed Cunning // May 4, 2007 at 8:40 pm |
My name is Ed Cunning and I work with netTrekker, the #1 in-school search engine providing safe, fast, easy access to only the best standards-based, educator-selected online resources for children in grades K-12. Although we were not referenced in the NYT article a few weeks ago, I am proud to say that our product is being used by over 450,000 teachers and 9.3 million students in more than 17,000 schools in the country and is also available at home by subscription for $4.95/month. With such common incidents as the one mentioned in NYT, parents and teachers can now rest assured that their child will only be exposed to safe, educational resources when using netTrekker. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to learn more about us, we would be happy to chat and offer you a free trial!
Mihaela Lica // May 4, 2007 at 8:43 pm |
Wow, Ed! This is great news! I will surely contact you in the future for the trial. We will conduct an educational program in schools here. Does the soft have a interface in German too?

I am a whistle blower. I was fired from a public school district for reporting massive criminal activity that included the presence and cover-up of sex offenders within the district. I want to emphaize that I have never been proven to lie.
That school district is the Troy School District in Michigan. It is easily themost corrupt and raicst public entitiy in America. The trustees of TSD have spent over $1 million dollars to silence me. They will stop at nothinhg.
Unfortunatley, the corrupt courts of Michigan have aided and abetted the TSD criminals. They have been allowed to misuse the taxpayers money to commit hundreds of counts of perjury and fraud to conceal what has taken place.
So my question is this, “How can judges, police and elected officals ignore such a thing?”
Please respond
cotojo // October 29, 2007 at 4:22 pm |
Hi Mihaela,
This is something I came across before and totally agree with. I will add this to both of my blogs. Being a father I know what the kids of today are subjected too, and I find a lot of it objectionable too.
Thank you for your visit and kind words
Have a great week
Colin

This campaign is the need of the hour.
I am not a blogger yet. But I will become one just to know and educate myself about what my children will eventually be involved with.
We adults and children alike are living in a “fast paced” era. Everything seems to be on the move.There seems to be no time to STOP and THINK.
This is what the adult world needs to do and teach children the need to do that. As responsible the adults need to be about not allowing children to easy access to adult material, it is the adults responsibility to educate children about it.The question then is “how do we educate our children to be web- responsible?” That should be the key question alongside this campaign.
We as parents and carers need to share views on how to do this best.
