it has come to my attention that some webmasters are just simply unaware of the potential risks they face in this biz. Myself included.
due to recent events, i had to take a deep look into what i am working with. i have been doing alot of research the last day & it is determined that obscenity in actual terms & definiton simply does not exist.
obscenity is based solely on what community standards deem as obscene.
Webmasters need to arm themselves with the tools & knowledge to make sure they are compliant with all local, state & federal laws. This not only includes laws to protect themselves against possible obscenity charges, but you also have a duty to protect minors. here is a list of recommended reading to get you started on your homework. If you want to survive, then you need to do your homework to pass!

also beware of laws regarding the protection of children & if your site is easily accessible to minors, there are criminal & civil charges that you possibly face.
take the time to make sure your site is not accessible to children.
