More scary, pointless stuff
When the Bush administration runs out of 9/11 justifications, I guess it always has the children as an option:
Hmm. Yes, that makes sense to me - we need to make porn illegal, so let's get records of people legally viewing porn. Actually, the law wouldn't make adult content illegal, it'd just require that adults
Aside from more outsourcing of porn to foreign shores, I'm not sure what effect this would have. That is, unless the anti-pornographers want to hold US search engines that unwittingly deliver porn to the same standard - as sure a way of promoting Quaero as I can think of. No, the best way to keep your kids from consuming massive amounts of brain-rotting internet porn is actually not big-government intervention (these guys are still Republicans?) but actually plain-old parental supervision.
About that registration thingie - I'm sure most adults lie a lot in whatever information they give to porn sites, given the immense social stigma against visiting them (especially all the fetish ones). Given that this is the case, how in god's name do we expect to prevent kids from lying in the same ways?
Also, who uses their browser for porn? Don't we all have some P2P client by now?
The Bush administration, seeking to revive an online pornography law struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court, has subpoenaed Google Inc. for details on what its users have been looking for through its popular search engine.
Hmm. Yes, that makes sense to me - we need to make porn illegal, so let's get records of people legally viewing porn. Actually, the law wouldn't make adult content illegal, it'd just require that adults
use access codes or other ways of registering before they could see objectionable material online, and it would have punished violators with fines up to $50,000 or jail time.
