ABSTRACT
Today, the protection of innocent children continues to be put forward as a compelling argument for introducing legislation that challenges basic human rights also for adults. Psychometric research has implied that risk debates are not necessarily, or singularly, about risk statistics and management of risk, as demonstrated in Part I Risk. Risk can also be a surrogate for social or ideological concerns, or hidden agendas. Only in a few cases, such as the ones below, is this fully verbalized: Child pornography is great it is great because politicians understand child pornography. The discussion of protection, freedom of expression and censorship also questions the motives of corporate leaders. Compelling arguments are often put forward showing unpleasant texts, images and attitudes on the one side and the innocence of children and their impressionable minds on the other. However, these arguments might not always be embedded in concern for children's well-being.
