federal felony for Webmasters to use innocent words like "Barbie" or "Furby"

Of course the intention is good. I mean protecting children is one of the most important things there is.

But how can this make sense? banning words? what happened to freedom of speech?

And imo all sites / site owners that try to draw in children should be prosecuted, not just the ones who are using the word barbie or something.

P.S. should we all be worried about out "toys" category?

seriously! what porn company is actually trying to lure children onto their sites?? What would be the point?

Kid visits your site - they can't join they dont have a credit card
kid steals parents credit card to join a site and the parents charge back

the entire 'protecting children argument' is about as lame as they come. The simple fact of the matter is the only people trying to lure children are the ones who want to want to harm them in the first place. No adult company is interested in anyone under the age of eighteen because we cant use them as content and we cant get them to join our sites.

'Protecting minors' is the red herring the far right uses as its main weapon in its aresenal against the adult industry.

I'm not really sure why a porn website would want to lure just anyone there...if they don't have a credit card, I'm not interested in them, but I'm sure some webmasters use anything and everything to draw attention to themselves.

As long as there's no frivilous use of this, then I don't really have a problem with it.
