Millions of commercial Web sites and personal blogs would be required to report illegal images or videos posted by their users or pay fines of up to $300,000, if a new proposal in the U.S. Senate came into law.

Child exploitation is one thing, but how far reaching will this Senate Bill be

After child pornography or some forms of "obscenity" are found and reported, the Web site must retain any "information relating to the facts or circumstances" of the incident for at least six months. Webmasters would be immune from civil and criminal liability if they followed the specified procedures exactly.


So...What's obscenity

It seems to me that this will be one more avenue used to turn the internet, this country, and yours to follow shortly thereafter by these goddamn globalists into a police state

You just now realized that? Couple that with the fact that all forms of entertainment, news, and communications are being done with the computer you're sitting in front of and its disturbing to think how much control the government has over you by simply knowing your ip address. And if you think google is able to return relevant search requests the way it does without having a list of every query you've ever made in a central database you're a fool.

From what I understand, you can be tracked to a router, maybe I mistaken

Anyway, there a big difference between being logged in some pricks data bank and issueing in some new law. A law that's being proposed as a child exploitation preventative, but has vagaries such as what the hell obscenity will be

It occurred to me sometime back that there are probably government sponcered porn sites design specifically for profiling, after all if they set up the site and gather info. there'd be no need to tap google data bank

Yeah, you can be tracked to a router. Whats your point?

As far as the profiling porn sites, I think that would be considered entrapment.

Don't know, but thought you might find this of interest

Jürgen Schmidt
The hole trick
How Skype & Co. get round firewalls

Peer-to-peer software applications are a network administrator's nightmare. In order to be able to exchange packets with their counterpart as directly as possible they use subtle tricks to punch holes in firewalls, which shouldn't actually be letting in packets from the outside world.

Thats interesting and everything, but the article even says you have to allow outgoing UDP connections. Why anyone would intentionally do that is beyond me.
