Florida librarian Sue Martin has been suspended, and the Valparaiso City Commissioner is recommending that she be fired, after Michael Bushee, a registered offender, used the Valparaiso library’s computers to access illegal online child-themed content. Authorities claim that three male minors also accessed adult content from the library’s computers. Said…

Perfect 10, an online and offline publisher of adult content, has filed a lawsuit against Google and Amazon, claiming that by turning up images of Perfect 10’s… um… “models”… in searches for, oh, who knows, maybe “nekkid women”, Google and Amazon’s A9 are violating Perfect 10’s copyright. Said Norm Zada,…

Governments around the world are using various methods to crack down on Internet porn in general, and that involving children in particular, and the United States is considering the Internet Safety and Child Protection Act of 2005 (more about that in a minute). The Danish government has just announced a…

A report released this week by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) says that when it comes to Internet searching, and turning up adult content, MSN is better at blocking such results than either Google or Yahoo. Whether this is a bug or a feature is left as an exercise…

Webmasters whose websites deal with adult content may soon have to start policing the ages of the models and performers who appear in content on their website, even if they did not generate or solicit the content – indeed even if the content is several years old or was acquired…

Have you ever visited a porn site, even accidentally? Sure, it really does happen by accident. Heck, it’s happened to me!

Ah, a fresh entry in our “how to get yourself into trouble with your cell phone” archives, along with videoing yourself having sex and having it turn up in porn shops, and the guy denying a crime involving an AK47 just as his cell phone displayed a photo of him… holding the AK47, and, of course, the ubiquitous upskirting and downblousing,

According to Cecilia Barnes, men have shown up at her place of employment in Oregon expecting to be able to have sex with her. Which is odd, because she’s not a sex therapist or a prostitute. Perhaps less odd, though, when you learn that, at least according to Barnes, her…

Employees can’t be fired for surfing porn on the job. That’s the judgement of a court which has ruled that an employer who fired two employees caught surfing the web for porn on company time must not only reinstate them, but must pay each of them an award of $40,000…

Microsoft Windows users are the target of a particularly titillating new worm, which in turn is targeting Microsoft itself. “Watch Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt caught on TAPE! SEXY CLIP! WATCH IT!”, the email says. And apparently you’d be surprised by how many people can’t resist opening such an email…

Utah Governor Jim Huntsman has signed a new Internet pornography law into effect which requires Utah ISPs and other service providers to block pornographic websites upon a user’s request. And just to make sure that no service provider has to do the old “I’ll know it when I see it”…

Fred Durst, frontman for rock band Limp BizKit, is finding himself in a new leading role, in a sex video in which Durst is seen having sex with an unidentifed woman, and which has been posted to the Internet by someone calling themselves the “T-Mobile Terrorist”. The sex video hacker…

Remember that guy who used his camera phone to make a video of himself having sex with his girlfriend, (and can you imagine the logistics involved?), only to have the video show up in the corner porn shop, and on an Internet auction site? And the folks who use their camera phones for upskirting and downblousing, courting prison time in the process? We had thought that these were the height of camera phone stupidity – especially the guy who reached out and touched someone while filming it. But noooo…. That dubious honour now goes to…drum roll please…

Email management firm Email Systems is reporting that porn spam is on the rise again, rising from a relatively flaccid 7% to a turgid 21% of all spam in just the past month. Unfortunately without knowing how they are defining “porn”, it’s impossible to really get a complete picture as…
