I can assure you any slightly savvy 15 year-old has. Anyone who seriously wants to can easily circumvent this kind of filtering technology and everyone who believes in free speech should. This kind of thing is just a sop provided by cynical companies to give technically ignorant parents a false sense of security. If you really want to protect your children from the evils of the world, try communicating with them for a change.

Giving certain individuals the right to speak their mind, let alone form an opinion, is like handing out firearms to children.
