===Pornography for children===
===Pornography for children===
Studies have shown that 90% of children have been exposed to pornography, with the average age of exposure being 11 years old.<ref>http://www.healthymind.com/s-porn-stats.html</ref> Many countries have attempted to take steps to keep underage children from viewing pornographic material. [[Australia]] has taken the important step of requiring [[internet service providers]] to use web filters to keep inappropriate material from being displayed in houses and schools.<ref>http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/12/31/2129471.htm</ref> Australia had also considered mandatory internet filtering, however this bold move was recently struck down by their current government.<ref>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/australia/9665983/Australia-scraps-plan-to-filter-internet.html</ref> This effort is being blocked by civil liberties groups (such as the [[American Civil Liberties Union]]) who believe that pornagrophy should be considered [[free speech]], and therefore not under the jurisdiction of the government.

Currently many private companies offer software-based web filtering for home use. [[Public school]]s in many US states are required to employ web filters. Most [[private schools]], and employers also choose to use web filters. Some [[libraries]] also employ filters, but most do not because they see it as censorship which most librarians unilaterally oppose.
