With the success Kentucky Gov Steve Beshear has had with seizing online gambling domains, will the online porn industry become his next target? Radley Balko, a specialist in civil liberties issues, thinks this is exactly what will happen.

The federal government has released access to a new spectrum of broadband service, and is licensing only those providers who promise to develop such services without porn or other obscene material on them. I am somewhat surprised that the adult community is not up in arms at the prospect of the government possibly pushing out other ISPs with a free service that is by definition, anti-pornography.

Eight years ago, many Democratic voters in Florida made a huge mistake when they assumed their votes didn't matter and it ended up costing our country dearly- particularly in the areas of first and fourth amendment protections.

Assuming President Bush signs the PROTECT Our Children Act of 2008, S. 17 as planned, ISPs will shoulder the responsibility of policing 'hash marks' of known child pornography content.

Australia's government seems intent on establishing national internet filters despite public outcry against the move and the fact that their last attempt at establishing national internet censorship was cracked by a teenager in a matter of days.

In an unprecedented move initiated by the State of Kentucky, 141 domains tied to illegal online gambling operations have been demanded to be turned over to the State.

This nutty politician running for some meaningless seat in a meaningless district in somewhere in Arizona seems to feel that using auto-dialers to tell people that his opponent is against porn filters in public libraries. Despite being completely annoying and likely hurting his cause, he's also inadvertently told every kid in his district where to find free porn.

Fresh from the institute that gives sex research a whole new name, the Kinsey institute's recent article on the history of sex and presidential politics traces some of the defining moments sex has played in determining our nation's presidents. What is perhaps most interesting, is that Indiana University has so much porn in its libraries.

This reporter makes an interesting analogy between the political mudslinging of presidential candidates on an election campaign and the experience of watching hotel porn. One of the more interesting reflections I've ever read on porn's role in society, and I certainly wasn't inclined to enter political blogging after reading this take on the industry; it's really nasty.

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is putting on a personal promotion show called the "Children's Crusade", and is bullying ISP already actively filter child porn content and cooperate with law enforcement just for the press.
