It's not just about porn that the internet should need censorship. I think what's being missed here is that there are more harmful things on the internet than just pornography or sexual images we don't want our kids to see. The most dangerous things are ones that adults don't know about.
For example, pro-anorexia websites, where viewers have access to extreme diets, "inspiring" photos of severely skinny girls, and codes of conduct. These codes include phrases like "If you aren't thin, you aren't attractive" and " You must buy clothes, style your hair, take laxatives, starve yourself, do anything to make yourself look thinner". Sure, you can make the argument that parents shouldn't let their kids onto these sites. But the truth is a lot of parents aren't even aware that their child has an eating disorder.
Another thing trending on the web these days are suicide and self harm how-to's. The target audience is mostly teenagers and young adults looking for help in taking their own life. They can even take a quiz to see which method of suicide is best for them.
I think in cases like these, there is absolutely no reason that this information should be accessible.
