Nonesense like this is one of the reasons I rarely read Wired News any more. Looks like they let "Lynn Burke" get too close to a logged on terminal again, to beat her little sex abuse agenda drum. http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,38393,00.html > The Mainstreaming of Kiddie Porn > The Internet helped create a huge network of child pornography > distribution. Lately, it's been getting easier and easier to > find. > By Lynn Burke. What unmitigated crap. She claims that the word "twink" refers to young boys, instead of smooth-looking adult gay males, and uses this to try and twist the arrest of one individual into an allegation that egroups.com is openly running a publicly available child pornography ring with over 3,000 members. She claims that "babyrape" is a Usenet newsgroup. She quotes U.S. Customs, the head of the Vigilante group Cyber Angels, and various other law enforcement types. She does not quote a single civil libertarian, nor expert on child porn hype. One of her "experts" is an author who blames what he calls the "mainstreaming" of child porn on teen idols like Britney Spears. Gosh - why don't the editorial dweebs at Wired News just hire Dr. Laura or Andrea Dworkin to write this crap for them. It's certainly not news, and at least then they could claim they had someone famous working for them. The only thing that is being mainstreamed here is child porn hysteria and Wired's complete lack of anything resembling journalistic ethics. I'm amazed Declan continues to humble himself by being associated with such an outfit. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
