Pennsylvania Court Forces ISPs to Block Porn Sites

jkastner writes "Salon is reporting that Pennsylvania is forcing ISPs to block web sites that have child porn. While we can all agree that child porn is bad, this sort of approach starts us down a slipperly slope. If one site slips through, does that make the ISP liable? In addition, the court ordered blocking may prevent access to legitimate sites that are hosted on the same server."

Goddamn it, a picture of a baby in a bathtub IS child porn! I don't know where you parents get the idea that just because you find tiny naked kid parts cute that makes it okay to take pictures of them. Isn't it wrong to take naked pictures of a naked teenager? Cut the double standard. Naked baby pictures are sickening. I know I'm not the only person who things so.

Anne Geddes should go to prison for objectifying naked children. She's worse than Maplethorpe and Saudek combined.
