Porn Laws Iceland

While I disagree on forbidding strip clubs or pornographic publications (they are accessed by willing consumers only and is easy to keep children away from them), I approve this latest idea. Porn on internet is too easily accessible. A child will not be able to access a pay-site but will still see all the sample photos and videos spammed around the web for promoting those same websites.
Parental control tools are not enough to avoid unintentional access to porn material from our kids.
Even worse, a lot of devious forms of pornography are proliferating on the web. I don't judge adults that willingly access those websites but I don't accept at any level that a minor could be exposed to images or videos depicting sexual violence (sometimes in very extreme forms) and sexual deviations.
Freedom of expression is an undeniable right but the abuse of it is and should be considered a crime.
