The censored youngsters and others raise questions about how deputized moms carry out their obligations and what the benefits really are to society.

Sun Yunxiao, deputy director of the China Youth and Children Research Center, cautions that Internet censorship requires socially comprehensive opinions, dimensions not only brought by moms but by teenagers also. "To express opinions is a youngster's right, and should be seriously respected." Considering this point, Zong Chunshan also reckons that blocking pornographic information is only one step away from an Internet content classification system – an idea still being floated. His opinion is that the Internet environment will be safer for minors only when a proper rating system is launched.
