Legislation proposes changes based on age and First Amendment laws, including a new national definition of obscenity.

Wonder what this guy does in his office all day, eh?

 

[KeithD]

Wonder how he figures he's going to be able to control what's thrown up into the ether.

Too bad Linus is MIA, he would be all over this attack on his freedoms!

These democrats are always trying to take away my freedoms!

What, he’s a Republican? Then he is one of those establishment repubublcans that are dead soon anyway.

He’s a MAGA Republican?

Now we know why he is MIA, between this and the trading cards coming out…his world doesn’t make sense to him anymore.

There should be a thousand posts on this thread by now.

Well since Linus is MIA, or did that alt get blocked Thursday?

I did see how a Jan 6 rioter is being also charged in threats against the FBI agents investigating him, maybe that is what happened to him?

You turds need to get over your obsession with individual posters. This is a far bigger issue.

Porn sites contain graphic videos and photos that are not great for young children to see. I’d like to see things done that make porn sites more difficult for children to access. Parental control tools and supervision of kids web usage are important but insufficient. Too many parents are incapable (or irresponsible) to use those options effectively. It’s way too easy for teens and pre-teens to access material that can be harmful to their psychological growth and development. This bill probably isn’t the right answer but there is a definite need for better control over what children can access over the web.

 

[dkovic77]

I doubt Linus has for his kids, he is all about freedom!

He doesn’t want any censorship. Go MAGA!

Some people have their heads up their asses. This isn't limited to porn or obscenity.

Just sayin'...

At one time I considered making a website for authors to self-publish their work on. Any category, anything goes, as long as it's legal to publish.

The burning question quickly became; how to keep minors out of the adult section? The answer was to require signing up to create either a publishing account or purchasing account and using a credit card number as part of the sign up/account creation. The card had to be in the member's name as the original credit applicant. Note, debit cards and pre-loaded cards aren't "credit" cards so those won't work. You could browse the titles and read jackets, but no reading of content without an account.

I thought it'd work. For those who don't have an actual "credit" card, too bad - you either don't have good credit and therefore wouldn't be able to buy anything so you're just wasting everyone's time, or you're a luddite who doesn't use the internet anyway.

There's two and a half reasons this wouldn't work. First, credit cards are less, by far less, ubiquitous elsewhere in the world. I mean, as it happens I know not a single person in real life who uses actual *credit* card, with actual credit. Everyone runs around with debit cards here. Well, yeah, it's probably nitpicking as those cards work anywhere they should and your hypothetical probably wouldn't be such a weird exception. But that's the half of it. The real elephant here is, credit card companies is who are right now effectively enforcing decency rules on the internet. The reason "anything goes" sites have hard times existing is because credit card companies don't work with them. No, not because of user cards either, it's all about advertising, billing and shit.

The second big reason is, much too many people are paranoid about privacy when dealing with indecency, oftentimes for quite good reasons. They wouldn't use a site without anonymous access options.

And yes... since in most actual households it's still primarily exactly the children who configure most devices...

Why? It's not very interesting. So some dude doesn't like porn, nothing is going to happen.

I have to wonder how many militant feminist Dem women want to kill off Lit too.

It's really a bastion of misogyny and objectification...

Every guy is rich and otherwise well-endowed.

you wanted it killed when the very board your posting on was created, hypocreep.

 

[JohnEBbad]

No one is paying any attention to your particular brand of hate.

Did mommy not breastfeed you long enough?

 

[schism666]

you just paid all of your attention to my particular brand of hate, cap'n adhom hypocreep.

The CC would be for age verification purposes as well as purchasing. Don't try to buy adult books, no issue. Want to buy adult themed books? Either a CC or no joy for you.

As for debit cards, no one I know would use one for fleabay or Amazon. Most consumers won't link their bank acct for PayPal, vendor's excepted and that's often only a business acct and not their personal acct.

It would be a publishing/book seller website. If the CC companies want to censor in the name of decency, they'd better get ready for a lot of pushback from authors of transgender/queer/LBGT books.

Not that I'm going to do this anyway. I want to retire; not start another company and try to run it during its fledgling years.

What you want to believe is rarely true. But go ahead and believe it anyway, your fragile little ego and sanity are at stake otherwise.

You could prove it with data.

You won't.
