Pornography on the Internet. I keep hearing about it, but haven't really seen much of it. Well, to be honest, I will sometimes break up a dull day at the office with a quick visit to the alt.sex newsgroup domain.
Some folks apparently find the content there to be pornographic.
I don't think so. The legislation is pending as I write and may have been either killed or enacted by the time this hits the stands. It doesn't really matter. Whatever the fate of this particular measure, attempts to regulate and control the net will become commonplace and the on-line community increasingly will find itself on the defensive. It's worth examining this phenomenon and trying to understand why it's happening.
