Ban on CyberSex?

In some places you can now be arrested and fined for something as simple as cybersex on facebook; and also for simply liking or sharing a video or page that might not be legal anymore. Whaaaaat.

Why is this a debate? Surely there isn't someone here who thinks they are right in banning the more obscure things with the legislation.

Filipino != American/Anywhere else.

I'm not concerned.

You don't actually have to believe in something to debate it.

Without any opposition for a debate it's just a big circlejerk

Oh I forgot; I was going to say we can debate the usefulness in the whole bill which includes anti-P2P and filesharing laws.

It also goes into our security and is supposed to help protect them against hackers and the such; something I'm hoping we see improvement on. Apparently one of the main advocates for this bill or whatever was accused of stealing speeches from JFK and someone else online; and soon afterwards he started working on this bullshit ideally to help keep them quiet.

That's just politicians being politicians, but if the internet was to form a similar bill that actually made sense; I wonder how that'd work out.   Whether anything should be done in this direction or not is the debate.

Why would bill Clinton care if Philippians were allowed to watch sex online?

[theyankees213]

1. i ment if that happened to america and he was president.
2. i mean hes probly the only president who would support porn (obvious reasons)

because american statesmen are imperialist watchdogs.

alternatively, because the ideal bill clinton of our hypothetical - i.e., the "morally upright" onlooker - is a humanist whose opinions of other governments' domestic policies aren't jaded by a tribal devotion to sovereignty or by an equally tribal and unreflective brand of american exceptionalism. (i could be mistaken but certain bits of this thread seem to stink particularly of the latter.)

e: i don't mean the parenthetical to come across as a potshot.
