We have researched and created this web page as a part of a Stanford University Class called Computers, Ethics, and Social Responsibility, taught by Eric Roberts.  The fruits of our labor have meshed together to create this beautiful site, which addresses whether filtering is really the best solution for people who do not want to view pornography on the Internet.

Here is a little introduction to each of us...
