http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17838798# I came across this by accident, and was disappointed that I'd hit the video clip rather than an actual story. (The fact that this clip is nominally about porn is not really the point.) What I found increasingly disturbing as the clip went on was how the deck was loaded against reality. The "criminologist" with the better jacket, better shirt, and better haircut, who was in the studio, shot in part profile, and in front of a colour background, was the guy blowing smoke. (If you are going to say that the ISPs should be responsible, they aren't the ones controlling your "rooter" [sorry]. Or, if they did set it once, they don't do anything to it on an ongoing basis.) The guy who actually knows what he is talking about has made poor fashion choices (and that's *his* fault), but he's also shot in full-face mugshot format, in front of a dull grey background (and gets cut off at one point). If they had deliberately set out to relieve parents of responsibility they couldn't have done a better job. ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. - Albert Einstein victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm http://www.infosecbc.org/links http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ http://twitter.com/rslade _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
