Well, as a parent, I want to protect my children from seeing the Internet in the raw form. Seriously, look at the content on the Internet. There is an amazing amount of content, not all of it is safe for children to view. Heck sometimes I see stuff that I would rather not. Don't confuse the issue here - it has nothing to do with rights.
Can you define "child"? At what age is it safe for a child to see a soft porn act, a hardcore one? Who makes up these rules? If you say every parent should make up the rules for their own family I'd support that; sadly, in real life it seldom works like that, e.g. see the recent misguided Australian attempt to ban access to porn for everyone.
I am not going to argue definitions, since my view to this is irrelevant. The point is there are many people that do care and don't mind paying my company and others for this service. For those that care about rights, freedoms, etc, this is optional - no one is forcing you, it is for parents to make that choice.
As for rules, there are groups (e.g., 6-10, 12-14) for children and seeing hardcore porn at age 6 is not appropriate, nor is seeing someone's head cut off at 10 on ogrish. Some material I wish I had never seen.
I am not talking about nudity here. Pornography is more than just nudity. Other content that is considered not good for children is abortion photos, hard core porn, murder, etc. You know stuff that makes an normal adult go wow, that is messed up (go to stile project, or ogrish for stuff)

Legal rights protected by the supreme court are "harmful content" now? I didn't get that memo.

Hey... if God had intended for us to see each other naked, we wouldn't have been born with clothes.

There's really nothing on the Internet I feel would damage children. Life sucks, get a helmet.
