Dear Senator,
I am VERY, VERY CONCERNED about PORNOGRAPHY on the internet.
While surfing the Internet I have come across a lot of UNSOLICITED pornography. I do not look for pornography and had NO
IDEA that a link that I was clicking on was leading to very XXXXX rated pornographic material.
I have found many sites that do not have a "front door" so to speak that warn visitors what's on that particluar site. VULGAR,
DISGUSTING, INDECENT, and IMMORAL pictures and even VIDEOS just pop up when the page is loading, with NO WARNING at all. Even sites that do have so-called "front doors" that warn that a visitor must be 21 before entering put porn banners and videos right on that page, so one DOESN'T even have to ENTER to SEE this filth.
I DO believe in freedom of speech, but I also believe in DECENCY and MORALITY. If we aren't looking for this TRASH, we
should not HAVE TO BE exposed to it. Where is the line drawn on "Freedom of Speech?" One is not allowed to outside naked,
as they would be arrested for indecency, so WHY is it that there are ALL KINDS of INDECENT material that can be viewed by
ANYONE with internet access?
The Internet is a wonderful source of information, but many people, including myself feel that there HAS TO BE be some kind of
guidelines.
If pornography is allowed to exist on the internet there HAS TO BE be SOME KINDS OF GUIDELINES and/or
RESTRICTIONS as there are in adult book/video stores. People who CHOOSE to go into adult book stores and/or video stores
do so of their own accord and are OF AGE. If not of age, they and/or the store manager will be ARRESTED.
WHY IS IT then that the people who DO NOT go into that stuff on the internet, and/or AREN'T OF AGE to view that sort of
stuff are subjected to it left and right?
Since getting online a very short time ago, I have noticed that the pornography has definately increased. There seems to be some
that want the Internet to be nothing but a pornographic playground.
I am not the only person concerned about this and SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BE DONE about this issue.
Please
come back soon and visit me.
