"Can I set up parental Web filters for my children using Linux?"
The real answer that should have been given: A) It is damaging to your child when you treat your child as a mere object instead of a person in and of themselves with their own interests. B) If your child is old enough to be interested in looking at 'naughty' pictures then I think its time you have the birds and the bees talk with them, and pray to god he or she prefers to satisify themselves on mere images and decide on sex later on. C) There is few, if any, arguements or evidence that suggest harm comes from merely being exposed to information in the form of images or text online. If any harm does exist it pales in comparison with the harm that comes from restrictions on free access to information.
The True Answer.
