Seeing as most of them live at home with their parents, I'd imagine so.

\By something serious do you mean they'll hack some government information website for about 10 minutes?

What are the odds of stuff that isn't porn being blocked by accident?
What about a message board with a single thread of naughty pictures?

If its anything like the way they filter the porn in the middle east, then the odds are very high

Also need to bear in mind that a lot of LGBT sites are often blocked for 'sexual' content, which can prevent young people from finding help/advice.

Our work proxy blocks anything with adult content and labels it as adult content, porn, explicit, etc.
How do you explain that?
Especially when you've only been browsing erowid for drug recipes.
That's not erotic.

I'm also wondering, how would it help to crack down on the child stuff. Just reflect for 5 seconds.
13/14 too young for porn? huh
this is just to check what they can get away with imho
+ what about erotic literature? Web is full with it, sure is how I started

At what point will the line be drawn?
Nude photography is classified as porn by many ppl but purely photography by others.
