Is Porn a Growing or Shrinking Business?
..and now this (below).
The Bush adminstration, in addition to its preoccupation with spying on law-abiding U.S. citizens, also seems to be obsessively interested in our fetishes and sexual interests online.
This is starting to border on trying to enforcthe administration's religious moralities through legislation -- something that should scare the pants off of each and every one of us (no pun intended).
A Reuters newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
An influential U.S. Senator warned the adult entertainment industry on Thursday that if it does not develop a rating system for its Internet content, Congress will.
My advice to your clients is that you better do it soon or we will mandate it if you don't," Republican Sen. Ted Stevens (news, bio, voting record) of Alaska, chairman of the Commerce Committee, told Paul Cambria, general counsel to the Adult Freedom Foundation.
Cambria told the committee hearing that it was the first time his group had been invited to testify before Congress on the issue and he would take the message back to his clients.
