uneducated parents don't know how to filter keywords

There are TONS of products out there that are made to filter sites with "bad" keywords. YouTube and others rely on keywords in order for user searches to work. There is no way NOT to put real keywords on your video, unless you don't want people to find it. These people need to educate themselves and install software that blocks access to sites containing these words. Some can even log attempts to search for certain words, so your kid is busted if he even tries.

This assumes that the parent is an intelligent being, not one of these idiots that think the mere presence of "naughty" websites will somehow destroy the world. They're just a lost cause.

Quote from software description:
- In addition to querying the master category server, also blocks some websites that include keywords that beyond reasonable doubt indicate adult content
- a default list of keywords to search for in the website name, URL and webpage content is provided
- you can also customize the keyword list
