Porn? What porn?

Remember that study that the US Justice Department was doing to prove the need for a law to protect children from porn on the Internet? They had the devil of a time getting Google to turn over search data for the study.

Lo and behold, the government needn't have bothered. Their own hand-picked expert concluded that porn makes up only about 1 percent of Internet content.

This isn't a defense of porn; it's a criticism of an unnecessary law. Parents should use filtering software to protect their kids; a federal law isn't needed.
