Controversial issues have always existed in correspondence media such as letter writing, photography, telephones, film, music, etc. Issues of sexuality and the exploitation of women, for example, are often discussed. These types of issues are subjective based on culture, language, etc ranging drastically across country preferences. If regulated, subjectivism and censorship would be legal issues addressed. For example, the issue of prostitution being legal in Nevada and the Netherlands surfaces the topic of diversity.
Internet Regulation is a commonly discussed topic.
What is disturbing is Hughes discussion of the sex industry setting the standards and values on the Internet. This leaves families concerned about their children to buy software that will limit searches and prohibit view of selected sites. What is ironic is the following site, which discusses families against Internet censorship. The authors of the organization feel that the responsibility is ultimately in the hands of the parent. The same could be true with all media, such as film and music.
