The Web Needs More Soft-Core Porn

from the interesting-analysis dept

Larry Magid, who usually writes very family-oriented technology related columns is suggesting that what the web really needs is more soft-core porn. He says that people need to face up to the fact that teenagers are curious and are going to do what they can to get their hands on some porn. However, on the web, they're likely to come across all sorts of extreme hard-core porn that goes well beyond what they should be seeing. If it were easier for them to find soft-core porn, they could satisfy their curiousity without being bombarded with "unhealthy, illegal, dangerous and disgusting" images. As he points out later in the article, though, he has no idea how this could be done.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
