Yes, but that's my choice. I am not talking about ISPs or governments blocking .XX, I am talking about individuals. Label things and then I can pick and choose.
I am talking about my work giving me free and open access to the web, except to areas of the webs not work related.

About 2 years ago my now-6-year-old was surfing the net next to me. He typed in "www.BobTheBuider.com" (note missed L) and was directed to a rather explicit website. Now the guy who registered the domain is now in jail, and if he ever knocks on my door I'm going to punch him in the nose. Registering that site and pointing it to porn was guaranteed to expose children to porn.
However, I'd much rather have in my little boy's profile, a setting that blocks *.porn.*.

I guess I am just giving a big-leg-up to NetNanny, and I suppose, enabling MS and others to just make it part of their browser....
