Australia is up in arms over the news that a kid went to school with porn on his cell phone. I’m glad to see that this article doesn’t call for all adult content to be eliminated from phones as that seems to often be the knee-jerk reaction of nanny-staters. But the quote from a Senator at the end of the article is just as bad:

“Scammers, con artists, thieves, fraudsters and, worse, paedophiles and pornographers …can quickly adapt to using more treacherous and sophisticated methods of committing their crimes,” Senator Coonan said.

Lovely. Just toss the LEGAL business of pornography right in there with all the criminals. That kind of mindset will only make finding real solutions to the problems of kids accessing porn more difficult.
