The Legislation That Could Kill Internet Privacy for Good 
The article starts off on the wrong foot.<p>"Every right-thinking person abhors child pornography."<p>Wrong.  The way child porn is defined, I do not necessarily abhor it.  One 17-year-old in a legal relationship [in case anyone out there thinks age of consent is 18 everywhere, google age of consent; you're in for a shock], taking nude photos of him/herself and sending them to his/her partner, is classified as "child porn" under current federal law.<p>The average person, hearing "child porn", conjures images of minors being abducted and abused in some basement, or being abused by relatives.  If only child porn laws were tailored that narrowly.<p>(I completely agree with the main premise of the article, but this bill is hardly a new phenomenon.  Pedophilia (technically pre-pubescent minors), ephebophilia (post-pubescent minors) and/or child porn has been one of the four horsemen of the infocalypse[1] for many years.)<p>[1] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Infocalypse" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Infocalyps...</a>
