QUOTE | Mainstream writers do not discuss online sex and porn for fear of touching unseen landmines that offend readers. It is part of a phenomenon that I call the hush-hush norm. There are permeable boundaries between rebellious and mainstream hackers, and between porn and mainstream content providers. Yet, the mainstream press discusses all of it as if sex and porn do not exist.That is, until recently.
Some crusading US lawmakers introduced legislation for amending the Communications Decency Act, aiming at interrupting activities that enable human trafficking. The changes aspire to place more responsibility on those who host content. While well-meaning, the effort upends carefully calibrated understandings at many online firms, who fear unintended consequences. |
QUOTE | More to the point, the web developed with unbridled degrees of unquestioned license. Now some bad actors have catalyzed attempts to end that discretion. Frankly, I see the point in the suggested restrictions. Enough is enough. There is no good reason to allow a decent society to put up with this crap any further.
Let me say it another way. If the Valley’s management cannot be bothered to take responsibility, then a bunch of crusading legislators in DC will act. I would rather see the Valley’s management preempt the legislation, wouldn’t you? What are they waiting for? |
