The net is, by definition, for adults. I don't know where anyone got the idea that it was okay for kids. My solution, though no one would probably listen, is to make every site only for adults, and create tags that would say KIDS ALLOWED if the site was. There would be no need for netnannies or anything else. The kids would only be able to go to a site marked as such. if the owners of said site marked it and then displayed adult material on there, then they would be in trouble. It's pretty simple really. The problem is in this economy, parents often have to both work and maybe multiple jobs just to feed and clothe their kids. Watching everything they do when one is not home is difficult as best. Cheers to those who can, but reality is that many can't. Not because they don't want to, or are irresponsible, but because simple logistics doesn't allow it. This really has little to do with the porn versus artistic nudity. It's not about the children. From what Rosity has said, it seems to be more of an image problem, one that I've heard of first hand. For any company, such an image problem is a big issue. Now if they didn't care about artistic nudity at all, it would be simple enough to ban it all, but they know that artistic nudity is indeed a valid form of art, so they have to find a line somewhere in the middle. It's not a task I envy of them at all, as finding that line is going to prove very difficult, given the culture and the myriad of beliefs that exist in their community and their business. ShadowWind
