I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist here but I think that besides making the stupid people believe that the ISP are somehow single handedly stopping child porn they can then remove all of there newsgroups ( more to the point ALT.BIN news groups ). Lots of ISP severely limit their newsgroups as it is, because it takes up lots and lots of space and most newer users don't even know what NEWSGROUPS are, even though that was the main internet before we got all graphical. I would actually like to see into the books of the NCMEC, they are probably funded by the RIAA and the MPAA to stop transfer of illegal copyrighted material by stopping the newsgroups. There are probably less than 20 out of 100,000's of newgroups. They could just stop those which many if not all for liability reasons already do!.
As far as the selective websites being banned by a group with no legitimate legal enforcement rights, that's crazy. Is there a panel that decides this or just some Flanders's guy surfing for things he believes is inappropriate?
If that's the case you could say goodbye to any Japanese web sites of any product that has a model wearing a Sailor Moon Costume ( Japanese Schoolgirl). If she looks provocative wouldn't that be inappropriate considering she is wearing a schoolgirl outfit? This is going by the child porn law that says even if its not a child if it simulates a child. I don't know if the law states there has to be sex or just look like they want to have sex, but know photographer is going to tell the model to hold the product but look bored and uninterested!
As far as the whole child porn thing! I think its 90% hyped BS! When I was a kid I never heard about this or that happening to any kid or that child porn is a multi billion dollar industry. Did 10 years ago all of the pedophiles just say lets go take over the world! Other than the train shop guy trying to touch Arnold in the bathtub, it wasn't as prevalent. Before like 72 or 73, I think it child porn movies were legal.( I could be wrong about that). Either way it existed, so its not something new.
I seriously believe that the child pornography problem is no where near the proportions that they are claiming and they are using this as an excuse for further censorship in a decade that has seen more liberties and freedoms be squashed in the states then it's whole existence.
So no one thinks that I am a proponent of child pornography. ( this issue is about Censorship)
If someone harms a child in a sexual manor please just try them legally in the justice system and save the tax payers money and shoot them!
If some are against capital punishment, you could relocate all legitimately convicted pedophiles in walled community with an adult achondroplasia community within the wall as well. No children get hurt and everyone is happy!
If families just interacted with the children more we wouldn't need other groups to try to protect them. School shooting didn't exist when I was a kid and I know guns did!
