Re: [Unschooling-dotcom] Re: porn sites was Homeschooling in the News

Porn sites are easy to find if someone wants to find them. So I wonder... why
do porn site owners feel like they need to push these sites into the lives of
people who do not want to see them. Porn Site owners try to trick us into
opening email (with an unrelated subject line) that end up being links to
porn sites. They redirect web addresses so they take us to porn sites. They
have the sites come in up searches when it seems so unlikely that they
should. (please, I was looking up vegetables). It does not bother me too much
that porn sites are on the web, though I wish they were harder to access, but
what does bother me is the way they are shoved in my face when I do not want
to see them. I wonder, what is the point.

To make money from those who will visit their sites! Not to mention the
rebellion factor of shoving it in our faces and down our throats just to
prove they *can* with no thought about whether they *should*.
I sure wish I could find a good filter. Anyone with suggestions for a
filter that will keep out obvious porn while allowing reasonable access for
research options like medical sites? For now we've been having the kidlet
use AOL, but that means paying for 2 internet providers (cable modem and
AOL) and I'm getting a bit tired of doing that.

Pete,
We have filtered access. I do not know where you are located but I will
give you the phone # and you can call and see if they have service in your
area. The filterer is Veracom. The # is 877-227-2332.
It filters out porn and has listing for medical sites on its home page.
Good Luck!!

access but of course you need to know about it in order to think to check it
out!

I agree. This is one of the reasons I do not let my children surf the web unsupervised. I accessed a porn site through a search on child education. Part of it is the addictiveness of it. I wonder how many people have become addicted to porn who were not originally intending to use the web for porn? I think some of these people do it to try to lure more people into their perversions.
