Porn Blocker Software...

If you are looking for a quality porn blocker, then you have come to the right place. As a parent you want porn blocker software for your child but, you don't want to unnecessarily restrict the Internet from your child. As a consumer, you want the best porn blocker for your money. But you don't want to have to pay a monthly subscription.

If you are wondering: How did all this porn blocker stuff get started in the first place? Well, I have a little history lesson for you.

First of all, you must realize that pornography on the Internet is not a new phenomenon. It has been around for some time now. Back in 1996, the Congress of the United States sensing that pornography could get out of hand on the Internet, actually tried to do something about it.

See before the Internet if you wanted to see pornography, you either bought a VHS videotape or you went to where porn was! That was usually in a dank, dark theater, in a corner of town that no one visited. And everyone in town knew what went on there! But now with the Internet, the pornography industry no longer has to hide. They can come right into your house, via the Internet, right into your child's room! Right under your nose!

In 1996, Congress passed the Communications Decency Act(CDA). This Act was the United States first attempt to try to regulate and control pornography on the Internet. Before the ink was dry on the document, it was challenged by some civil liberties groups as being in violation of the First Amendment to Free Speech. They took their argument all the way to the Supreme Court, and they won. The Supreme Court agreed with them, and that, in my opinion opened the flood gates for Internet pornography.

These civil liberties groups also argued that the CDA did not give parents the right to decide for themselves what was objectionable for their own children. This decision was upheld in the Supreme Court because of a challenge in Philadelphia,PA called the Reno vs. American Civil Liberties Union. Because of this decision, two things happened:

1. Internet Pornography can run rampant.

2. You can protect your own children with porn blocker software.

So there you have it. Don't ever say that the government didn't try to look out for you. They tried back in 1996, but they had there hands tied. Now you, as the parent, have to do everything in your power to try to stop Internet pornography from corrupting your child.

In my next post, I will go over some of the sneaky, underhanded tactics that the porn industry is using to get you kids to be lifelong members. See you next time!
