Internet Censorship/Parental Control, Wrong or Not? Options

[firechild]

Pros:
They can't see anything you don't want "them" too.
Cons:
Stifles creativity and "freedom" of speech (not all that free anymore)

Your Ideas?

Younger generations these days are actually becoming more smart and social. If I was a parent,


1. No computer in their bedroom.
2. They must tell me when they want to use the computer, and I monitor them from time to time.
3. When they're done, I just check their history ( if they do delete it, I'm sure there are ways of viewing it back)

I' don't really mind if it's social networking, but if it's Porn then no. My kids could come to me about Sex education or anything they need to know.

OMG YOU'RE HORRIBLE! Strict Asian parent D:

My kids can use the internet as much as they want as long as it's not interfering with school.. and as long as they're not doing anything illegal (.... they can look at porn as long as they don't distribute it).

Like all things kids do, they will eventually tire of it and leave it for something else.
