If a parent is unable to trust their children with a computer they themselves are incapable of using, then why do they even have one? There's plenty of resources available (libraries, schools, etc.) that any legitimate use can be managed quite easily, and those computers are guarded by people more knowledgeable than most parents.
Censorship is NOT NEEDED, at all, for any reason. What we need is better parenting, and in lieu of that, classes to teach it. I keep coming back to this point, but if a parent can't trust their child with something, then there's no reason for that child to have it. Censorship in the name of "protecting the children" is nothing more than saying "I don't want to make the effort -- the government can do it for me".
