.kids Domains: US bias? |
Message: |
|
Contrary to .kids Domains' claims to be representative of the Internet
as a whole,
its proposed guidelines are to be based primarily on US
laws - see the link below.
Even if one believes that censorship of
what children see (including assistance
of such censorship - or of
censorship of adults by governments - which is what
.kids would be) is
rightful, one has to question whether the US is the appropriate
base
for this. US attitudes regarding sexually explicit material are far
different
from those in Europe, for instance. Other areas of
difference include on US-illegal
drugs (see the Netherlands and
marijuana, for instance), violent material, political
speech, and many
other areas. -Allen
