dragons_flight writes: "The US Supreme Court is starting their next session, and on the docket are two cases that pit internet controls vs free speech as applied to porn. The first case will decide whether the government can force online providers to use age verification systems before allowing access to material deemed 'harmful to minors.' The second case deals with whether computer generated imitation porn can be treated with the same laws as porn involving real people (the particular case deals with child pornography). This news article discusses these and other issues before the court. Also ACLU commentary on the upcoming docket." The second of these cases was discussed before, in "Virtual Child Porn: Is It Illegal?"

Use the Leisure Suit Larry Method. by dkemist · 2001-09-30 13:34 · Score: 4, Funny

Does anyone remember the "age verification" routine in the old Leisure Suit Larry game? Just ask them a bunch of questions that someone under 18 isn't likely to know. :)
