POPSManitoba tables expansive child porn bill
Though I feel all measures that can be taken to protect children and find those who would harm them or distribute such filth should be taken, I'm not sure I completely agree with this law. Putting the onus on the individual who finds the porn on someone's machine, is a little scary. I mean, sure people should report finding child pornography if they happen across a site on the net that contains it. That's a given. But what if this was a loved one? I'd think that I'd want to try and help them. I mean, it is a psychological disorder, similar to many others. Some specialists think it may even be a sexual preferences similar to homosexuality, bisexuality, etc. (I have a hard time stomaching that). So if there is an option to get the person help without ruining their lives and those of their loved ones, then I think I would want to try that course first. Unless of course I had evidence that they actually assaulted a child. Then I'm sorry, but they have crossed the line...

POPSProposed Law Could Be a Cold Shower for YouPorn This is a tough one (for most of us). A: We MUST protect kids online. No sane person disagrees with that. B: We MUST have personal freedoms, that includes posting pictures/videos of you & your partner nude, etc. As long as the place you are posting is protected against kids accidentally accessing (ie: labeled properly with text & meta-data that let's filtering software know to block it) This law is meant to make it hard to post material containing images/video of individuals under the age of 18. Right now, I suppose a provider could claim thay weren't sure when a video may contain an individual that is actually 16-17. With the new law, this would be MUCH harder, if not impossible (without fake IDs, etc). Unfortunately, it would also make it very hard for the average poster to post their legal video as well. And it makes it hard and expensive for the hosting sites to collect, verify & maintain the data. I wonder, if this might be a slight bit of overkill? What do
