I discovered a post on a very just cause today at BloggerPower and could immediately associate with the sentiments (having a kid of my own and my worries around similar issues).

Jon Harmon, founder of Force for Good, and Mihaela Lica of Pamil Visions have taken a stand against accidental exposure of kids to adult sites and I strongly support them. The campaign is about requesting webmasters of adult site to do the following:

Please require a password-protected login before allowing even free access to explicit adult content. We understand that selling porn is your business and we respect your right to make a legal living. But understand our legitimate concerns and work with us. You already have the “warning adult content” on your websites. Yet kids, who are not legal customers of your product, ignore the warning. So to prevent them from having direct access to explicit images, texts and sounds, the simplest way is to have a password-protected login. No more “free tours” before a visitor supplies basic information.

I believe this is a fair ask and the webmasters can just put the username and password on the same page (except people will have to manually enter it). This will not prevent people from visiting the site but achieve the objective of preventing accidental exposure to little kids.

If you think this is a just cause then please feel free to post about this on your blog.
