...introduce an equally good product. As a result, the lists are fiercely guarded, meaning that there is no simple way for the purchasers of filter software to verify a manufacturer's claims--or for those whose sites are wrongly labeled as pornography or hate speech to find out and complain.

Such critics argue that no child is capable of managing the stresses and strains of the notoriously fickle industry, and that to encourage young boys and girls to pursue pop-stardom on the road borders on child abuse.
