The most impressive features were sites with links to adult content filters that you could install on your browser. These Web pages are not intended to be viewed by minors. Webmasters of sites featuring sexual material generally seem to be very careful of content, permitting sex sites that are not easy to access without a credit card. The sites provide links for people who have accidentally stumbled across them, and the viewable photos, while pornographic, mostly fall within the legal limits of what can and cannot be shown. I am not claiming that all content on the Internet is safe for everyone, but what I have discovered is that porn is not as easily available as many people suspect.
Pornography is a multibillion-dollar industry.
We must remember that while porn sites are competing heavily for surfers, they are first out to make money and are not about to give away their products for free. In your browser, MIE, or Netscape, you can also opt to screen out adult content. While you can follow Internet links to more revealing pornography, you will not access it accidentally, and sites will generally provide you with links to leave the site. Ultimately, it is up to users to decide what content they want to view on the Internet. The adult content sites cater to a certain audience.
