    Goatse, tubgirl, meatspin, or the BME pain olympics are not exactly hallmarks of quality communication and restricting that type of content is valid for minors. It’s not censorship to try to avoid desensitizing kids too early. Sometimes, people need experience before they can see the horrors.

      I think they were referring to basic information censorship versus letting 10-year-olds/whatever aged minor have unfettered access to the entirety of the internet.

        Here are the lines from the guy I replied to:

        That sounds like censorship to me (and thus, a bad thing)

        And…

        but I am firmly against any form of censorship.

        Allowing any censorship would be a bad thing, according to that poster, so I provided a reason why some censorship may be desired.

        Your argument is not on censorship yes or no, but on how far. That’s a different discussion.
