I tried to protect my children from exposure to inappropriate material. Tried for years. And failed.
So I don't know what the answer is for the Internet.
In my opinion, the best solution for that is called cuties.
If my kidds even see a couple kissing on TV, they usually go like eeh-yuh. By the time they change their opinions about that will most probably be around the time they are old enough to see whatever they want anyways. (I think that's about 14 years old, by the way). I've never tryed to impose on them any content limits and things have turned out quite alright.

Re: Fiction Shouldn't Be Censored
if we are forced to reduce all programming to the level that no kid is going to be bothered by it, we'll be left with Sesame Street and the Teletubbies.
I'm afraid Sesame Street might have to go too. Do we all want our children to see a monster that eat cookies any time they want, even before diner? I think not. That would undermine the parents autority. What about a monster that lives in a trash can, glamourizing slothness?
