I think this is a very interesting clause..... (have no idea if it's new????)
Quote:
Therefore, the
Department does not accept that such sites cannot operate under the
proposed rule, or that such sites must maintain information concerning
their users, much less that the Department must be able to inspect such
data. However, one who posts sexually explicit activity on ``adult''
networking sites may well be a primary or secondary producer. Users of
social networking sites may therefore be subject to the proposed rule,
depending on their conduct. That such users may certify without penalty
or effective monitoring that they are over 18 is irrelevant to compliance with the
proposed rule, since they may not in fact be above 18. Moreover,
depictions such users put on the sites may feature not only themselves
but other people who have not even made the unverifiable certification
required by a social networking site.

This is my theory. Give it a few more years and everything is going to be locked down again. Something sick and wrong will be posted on a tubesite thus leading to their demise. I truly believe this.... Right now, everyone is losing money but it will go full-circle. I just don't want to see the adult industry 'flagships' being swept into the axis of evil when they've actually been the ones protecting minors- JMO
