Does parental censorship make children more curious? “I can't define pornography,” U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart once said, “but I know it when I see it” (“I know it when I see it.”). The word "pornography" comes from the Greek language for writing about prostitutes. However, the etymology of the term is not really a guide to its current usage since many things commonly called "pornography" these days are neither actually. written nor about such prostitutes. Pornography is any sexually explicit content (images or words). People want to censor pornography to prevent curious people under 18 from searching for 18+ material. is whether parental censorship stops curious people or makes them want to seek it out more and can sometimes lead to worse situations which will ultimately cause the community to try to have more censors on the Internet, on the radio,. television and any other type of media. Censorship is the control of information and ideas circulating within a society. This has been the hallmark of dictatorships throughout history. In the 20th century, censorship was achieved through the examination of books, plays, films, television and radio programs, news reports and other forms of communication with the aim of changing or removing material. ideas considered objectionable or offensive. The reasons for censorship vary, with some censors targeting content deemed indecent or obscene; heretical or blasphemous; or seditious or treacherous. Thus, ideas were suppressed under the pretext of protecting three fundamental social institutions: the family, the Church and the state. Not all censorship is equal. babysitters or they hide the truth from them as long as they can so they don't have to deal with such things until their kids are old enough to understand it better so it's easier for them . Now, there are many ways to censor certain parts. of the Internet from children by downloading software that prevents them from accessing the site or by setting a different connection for them that does not give them access to certain places without administrative permission, AKA your permission, or you can sit there yourself themselves and monitor their progress and teach them everything so they don't do what you don't want them to do, but like no child wants to be monitored on the computer while they do what they wants, i.e. searching for games on the Internet, watching cartoons, or whatever else they may or may not be able to do there.
