Or more revealing innocent pictures of their kids that virtually every family has in their private family photo albums. Very dumb move in these times. It's very scary about who decides what constitutes porn. Is sending a picture of a three year old doing the streak to grandma porn? Hey some sicko's get off on it while grandma would laugh at her grand son.
I don't want my e-mail read by a censor or net nanny and have to remember who sent what when I can't remember what I had for lunch. This is the exact same argument I have about red light cameras. Can any of us remember that much about what we do to explain or defend ourselves from the eye of Big Brother these days?
A typical user not thinking about filtering even in some political dicussion groups can end up with porn links we did not ask for. I won't name sites but I think most persons have seen it.
Then theirs the rest of my life guvurmunt has not business policing either. We're quickly approaching a society with a government that can make anyone a lawbreaker. I break enough of them every day just going to get a loaf of bread because Uncle is so concerned about my health. It has to be stopped somewhere.
An excellent point, which raises another concern. From my post#336:
...will the laws be applied with the frivolity typical of government appendages, wielded as a cudgel by politicians against their political opponents or as a spectacle to distract from their own moral deficiencies?
I suspect they will be applied as such with great frequency in situations like the hypothetical cited in your post.
