Letter: Keeping net clean
Instead of installing largely ineffective and easily circumventable "net nanny" programmes on their children's computers, they would do better to allow them access solely to web browsers which can display only text.
As any anti-pornography campaigner will tell you, it is the pictures which cause the most damage, while confining young people to text online might also have the desirable effect of improving literacy.
Perhaps, in the interests of education, this restriction could even be put on a statutory basis.
