Subject: Software is not a stand-alone solution, but can enhance a Greenspace

Message:
 

 
        Filtering Software like AOL's, are questionably effective.  The ACLU states that

"No one is suggesting that children should have access to obscene material...the hard fact is that it is technically and humanly impossible to block access to only obscene material". 

They use this as the jumping-off point to vigorously attacking software filtering solutions as a public solution.  COPA agreed with as much in their "Analysis of Methodologies and Technologies for Protecting Children Online"  Their analysis found Greenspaces to be the most effective, least expensive, and have the lowest adverse impact.

Children are the fastest growing group of online users.  The marketplace WILL do something to get AT them.  ICANN has (had?) the opportunity to do something FOR them by creating a .kids TLD.
