'Extreme' Web Sites Under Fire From UK Police
An anonymous reader writes "A conference on electronic crime, taking place in London this week, has thrown up some interesting news. Britain's top hi-tech police officer has demanded a crackdown on Web sites devoted to 'abhorrent' subjects such as cannibalism and necrophilia. What happened to freedom of expression online?"
When cannibalism is outlawed, only outlaws will be cannibals!
I especially liked the cannibalism article that linked off this one -- and ended with:
"Meiwes made a video of the event, which was shown to the court during a closed session. He could be released early for good behaviour."
I assume good behaviour would be that he kept his napkin in his lap next time.
I want to judge by myself...
:p
Can you post the URL of the 'abhorrent' sites please?
"The Internet is no place for people looking for 'perverse gratification', claims the police officer leading the UK's fight against e-crime."
Apparently they think that anyone who is attracted to corpses should not waste their time online and go straight to the real thing!Good thing I only visit those "Extreme Linux" sites..!
First they came for the Cannibals
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Cannibal.
Then they came for the Necrophiliacs
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Necrophiliacs.
Then they came for the anarchists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade anarchists.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
"What happened to freedom of expression online?" I think Microsoft patented it

Where will I get my info on cannibalism now?!?!
We're talking about the United Kingdom here...heck..they don't even have freedom fries there, how do you expect them to have freedom?
Ah, that British penchant for understatement.

The more time they spend working on some website no one's ever going to look at, the less time they have for actually *doing* weird creepy stuff. I say 'leave their websites alone.'

Mod Karma -1: I sed bad wurds. If I cep my mouf shut, I wud be at riyses.

HI O WISE PRINCE. WHT TOOK U SO DAM LONG?
So is a necrophiliac cannibal someone who plays with their food before they eat it?
In France it's acceptable for a TV ad for shower gel to show a naked woman soaping her breasts.
URL???
I think he means teachers.
The Tools Of Ignorance wanna be a tool?
I hope everyone takes this VERY seriously.
Sit down some day and actually TALK to a victim of cannibalism or necrophilia.
The things they tell you will change you forever

You need to follow it, though. It also allows us to discuss and express opinions on actions in other countries. It's just some geeks bantering about concepts of free expression. I wouldn't worry about it.
And if you think that you really have free speach in the US try having a discussion on paedophilia and see how far you get.
You might want to contact NAMBLA. That's exactly what they do, and yet they continue to freely exist even though a lot of people know about them via stand up comedy and South Park episodes.
but the subject is so highly charged that you risk being pilloried just for mentioning it.
What are you talking about? It's discussed constantly on the TV and radio when a big case erupts (Michael Jackson being the current archtype).
Now, if you're at a party and perhaps express the opinion along the lines that you think its an idea whose time has come, yeah, you might get some less than enthusiastic responses.

There. Now, Slashdot will be banned because I talk about cannibalism.
"The law in the UK works the same way as it does in the UK as regards the burden of proof."
Of course it does, Cap'n Obvious!
I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to mis-attribute this quote to Voltaire.

Least we don't have to worry about these two groups banding together to make this legal.
I only look human.
My mother is a halfling and my dad is an ogre, so that makes me an Ogreling
