Vine porn issues take 2 http://j.mp/XPKbrt (Google+) A quick survey of the new "vineroulette" site (I'm purposely not lighting up a link on this) shows that while some common searches likely to result in porn are now blocked by Twitter, many of the obvious alternatives and misspellings are clear to go. Also, searching on the first name of Twitter's CEO is not recommended unless you're into this sort of thing. Is this all really a problem? Yes, but not due to inherent issues with explicit imagery per se, but rather the ammunition this kind of situation likely gives to those forces who want to clamp down on Internet free speech much more generally and pervasively. I'll have more to say about this in detail after the dust has settled a bit. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info - Data Wisdom Explorers League: http://www.dwel.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren / Twitter: http://vortex.com/t-lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
