Some points to ponder:
- In the U.S., a large number of lawyers, the FCC, and federal courts have spent years arguing about the use of f**k and similar words on broadcast television. Those words are regularly used on cable television. Why is the use of f**k and similar words on broadcast television so much more publicly significant that the use of those words on cable television?
- Craigslist has been forced to shut down its adult services section in the U.S. What effect will this have on buying and selling sex and the many possible forms of sexual exploitation?
- Comments on a recent TechCrunch post concerning Topix display outrage at Topix’s comment moderation policies. What happens when more people learn that anyone, anywhere in the world, can post anything on the Internet without any moderation whatsoever?
