Gonzales wants web labeling

tickler, while that is true, functionally speaking, we can be blocked anyway, or at least I assume we can, using keyword blocks, or blocks based on meta or icra tagging.

I figure that my pages, which are fairly explicitly pornographic and based on clearly adult named domains, could be blocked, if only by the meta tags already on them.

Would a tagging system that allowed text and non-pornographic pages go untagged cause a huge growth in text pages for the SE's? Yeah, I think it would.

I'm not saying I approve of it, I'm saying I don't see a lot of reason to fight it. It will have a far harsher impact on news and health pages than on porn pages.

Politically, it's clearly a gimmick, meant to allow the pols to pretend they are doing something.

So you're saying it'll just create one more way for cheaters to gain market share?
