conversation from icq:

zzzzz (03:34 PM) :
got a question for you about rta. isnt this similar to xxx. well ok not competely similar, but lets say web sites all do this, then isp's go hey, we can block all adult sites because we want to and block any site with meta tag blah blah.. while its a good idea to to lable stuff, this sort of puts us in that ability for ghettoizing our sites for bad or good

FightThePatent (03:35 PM) :
ISp can't block by a tag.. unless they offer a proxy service.. which some alrady do anyways using blacklists..


FightThePatent (03:35 PM) :
.XXX can be blocked at the DNS lookup level..


zzzzz (03:35 PM) :
yea, i know the tech side of things, im just saying..

zzzzz (03:35 PM) :
any host or big company comcast, etc run though proxy and caching systems

FightThePatent (03:36 PM) :
blocking is always possible.. but consumers want porn.. so i really don't believe an ISP would block all porn... doesn't make business sense

zzzz (03:36 PM) :
all somone needs to do is build a spider that searchs for this tag, sells his list to isp's and boom we are all of a sudden blocked over night

FightThePatent (03:36 PM) :
makes more sense to offer a servce to filter it that costs more

zzzzz (03:36 PM) :
or for that instance sells this list to the gov


There are already blacklists out there for blocking pornn sites. There are spiders and human reviewers creating these lists, and verifying them already for years.


Fight the rosy colored lists!
