A new report of the National Research Council titled "Youth, pornography, and the Internet" have just been edited. See http://news.com.com/2102-1023-897591.html) and http://www4.nationalacademies.org/onpi/webextra.nsf/web/porn?OpenDocument "The report's authors didn't take a stand on the various bills or on filters themselves, but they said a single approach could give people a false sense of security. The report also suggested that people have largely neglected the education component." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Serge Courrier" <serge.courrier@pobox.com> To: <air-l@aoir.org> Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 5:16 PM Subject: [Air-l] Kids and porn content : also a "pull problem" ?
Last year, an interessant study from Netvalue assumed that 20 % of cyberkids visited pronography sites. http://uk.netvalue.com/presse/cp0055.htm
Without ignoring the horror of cyberpedophilia and traumatisms potentially caused by porn contents on kids, I would like to know if you ever heared of studies suggesting that porn content accessed by kids through Internet is not only a "push problem" (bad people trying to pervert youngsters), but is also a "pull problem" (kids searching for porn).
So porn content could be seen as an educational problem, not only a security or legal problem.
Any comments or URLs ?
Best regards
