This comment may be down voted here. But i think there is a case to be made for a new law that mandates the ISP's to password protect all porn websites by default.

And in a few days we'll figure that every site The Man does not like is considered a porn site. And is "protected" from you.

Pirate Bay and other trackers, for example.

I'm sure that user is just fine with such abuses.

Yep, because if someone claims something might be bad for them, we should restrict access for everyone! By the way, hacker news makes me slack off at work, so I'm looking forward to the law that forces ISPs to block it by default.

I am not worried about the adults but Kids who can now easily access all the pervert filth's of the world (many times accidently).

BTB, I am not talking about blocking porn, just users should go through a password wall. Also the users should be able to change this default setting if they like. This is not much different from the password protection for adult content offered by many cable tv companies.

You seem to have conveniently missed the point. What you randomly decree is "filth" and what someone else randomly decrees is "filth" aren't the same. There is no reason to believe that porn is bad, hence no reason for you to be deciding who can access it and who can't. Your position is just as detestable as people who would want access to any non-christian religious material restricted.
