crack down on porn by the feds?

[Feynman]

1- I'm wondering about the economics of a crackdown.

The russians are pumping more and more stuff, of more and more quality than the local outfits seems able to keep pace with.

Then, it'll be south east asia.

So what does Ashcroft thinks he'll be saving victimized viewers from ?

The ONLY way to control porn is to control what's circulating on the net, a big filtering proxy server for the whole nation.

They do it in China.

A study done on the topic of censorship in China, conducted mainly by phoning local modems ISP's in China and surfing for various stuff showed that 90% of the porn was available but that they blocked most news sites, Google, other search engines, sites about science, medicine, politics, etc.

What did you Ben Franklin said ? That those willing to trade liberty for safety will get (or deserve?) none in the end ?
