So you would deny children the greatest source of knowledge in the history? I have learned math and programming thanks to unlimited access to the web and would not be where I am without it.

Absolutely.

This is much better than destroying "the greatest source of knowledge in the history" to make it safe for kids.

This is a false dichotomy. We do not need to do neither. The parents are responsible to keep their children safe on the internet.

First of all, you cannot know that, since plenty of people before you learnt that stuff from libraries.

>So you would deny children the greatest source of knowledge in the history?

Yes, because other sources of knowledge exist and are much more appropriate for children. It is also the greatest source of despicable stuff in history. When you turn 18, have fun exploring the world wide web.
