Well, this one doesn't fit the original problem, as far as I can tell, unless 
your goal is to simply block access to Facebook.

But it's worse than that -- by censoring something, you're only making it that 
much more appealing.

I'll give an example: At the age of 12 or so, my father told me about The 
Matrix, but refused to let me see it. When I was finally old enough, I watched 
it on my birthday -- four times. I became obsessed with it -- much more so, I 
think, than if I had been allowed to see it in the first place.

So, think about whatever it is you're trying to "protect" your kids from. If 
you simply tell them not to go there, and they really are good kids, maybe 
they won't. If you put the filter in place, and they really are good kids, 
you're telling them you don't trust them, which can be hurtful. If they 
actually want to go there, they'll find a way around the filter anyway, but 
the fact that you so desperately wanted to stop them is likely to backfire in 
a big way once they do get through.
