...more politically fireproof sentence has yet to be conceived by mortal man. On the surface the policy seems reasonable, given the prevalence of offensive sites and the ease with which even a novice Web surfer can find them (though most porn sites these days can't be accessed without a credit card). But free-speech advocates call censorware a cure worse than the disease. Filtering programs block Web pages in one of two ways.
