What has already been happening for most of the industry though due to the availability of it for free? The exact thing you speak of and this is the trend.

Parents need to monitor their children's Internet access. My boyfriends little brother has a tablet with a walled Internet and while he can have things like Skype, his mother has to enter her password to add a contact and he cannot accept calls from those not on his list. Since his brothers are so far away, each can video chat him whenever they want (and vice versa), but nobody else can. She can also view all of his activity anytime she chooses.

They need to be looking more along those lines.
A filter then maybe? I hear that approach is being proposed in the UK.

Honestly I am conflicted. For business I would love to see porn require some sort of AVS for the reason I explained. But otherwise I worry about censorship and other abuse.

Being real right now any 7 year old can type in "pornhub.com" or "youporn.com" and see the nastiest porn right on the front page with a couple clicks. I can see where maybe this is a problem. Parents can't watch everything and even if they do usually one of the kid's friend's parents does not. I can see where there needs to be some middle ground here at least. Like maybe softcore only out in the open? Something along these lines. Something somewhat reasonable that we can live with.
