Proposed bill to tax churches in the fight against child porn

The absurd headline above came to my mind as I was reading the xbiz article titled: U.S. Rep. Barton Pushes Internet "Child Protection" Bill. I thought the article was about another attempt at regulating porn, but it’s a proposed bill to increase funding to law enforcement in their laudable fight against CP.

There was no mentiond in the article that was trying to link adult entertainment (porn) with child porn. Usually this connection is made with extreme fervor and disgust.

The article was outlining how bad it was out on the internet for the exploitation of children. I decided to check on the pulse of things by going to news.google.com and entering “child porn church”. I was not surprised by the amount of recent news stories about child porn that involved church staff (like priests and pastors), but it was still saddening to see.

The point of this absurd post is that whenever anyone tries to ignorantly link adult entertainment (porn) with child porn, tell them first of all, CP is horrible and secondly, its not the adult internet websites that are creating and distributing the bad material, its actually involving people who are entrusted to take care of kids, whereas porn is out to take care of adults.

Fight the hypocrisy!

How Adult Businesses Can Navigate Global Compliance Demands

The internet has made the world feel small. Case in point: Adult websites based in the U.S. are now getting letters from regulators demanding compliance with foreign laws, even if they don’t operate in those countries. Meanwhile, some U.S. website operators dealing with the patchwork of state-level age verification laws have considered incorporating offshore in the hopes of avoiding these new obligations — but even operators with no physical presence in the U.S. have been sued or threatened with claims for not following state AV laws.

Existing merchants submitting new URLs with opt-out cross-sales are being asked to remove them.
