In case you've been avoiding the Internet today, or have been focused

Martijn.

this is an interesting article about where these terrible statistics about porn, never mind child porn, (70% of children have seen hardcore while doing their homework etc.) actually originate and the pedigrees of some of those involved (remember "Satanic Abuse").

This is mostly FUD and moral panic. Interesting to note that talktalk now bans torrentfreak using legislation partly based on earlier attempts to control porn. (if you don't know torrentfreak is a news site about copyright and file sharing which is fairly balanced in tone, often I see stories in The Guardian that broke on it. Anyhow, it has no torrents or even links to torrents or torrent sites).

This is a classic moral panic....

This will be another "Dangerous Dogs Act", but with serious repercussions for many of us. But maybe I'm just too corrupt, I did come of age in the era of the "Video Nasty".
