Barbara Biggs: Pornography should not be a kids’ game
Herald Sun’s Barbara Biggs writes:
"The Federal Government’s $84 million internet porn filter helps control kids on their home computers. But the same kids are accessing porn on their mobile phones and their PlayStation portables and Nintendos. Any hand-held portable electronic toy that can download from the internet can download unmonitored porn."
"Instead of ploughing millions pf dollars into filtering technology, which will be outmoded before computer-dinosaur parents can work out how to use it, governments should be investing in education."
"Kids will always find material made to cater to their hormonal curiosity. Earlier generations read raunchy magazines. The difference is that those images were mostly made with an appreciation of women in mind. The images in cyberspace being accessed by our kids show a hatred of women."
