In the early days of the Internet men dominated cyberspace. This men's club spawned a seedy trade in pornographic images (mostly of women). For many years this activity went relatively unnoticed. The Internet was used by only a select few and required advanced computing skills. The early transfer of photographs was through newsgroups. This required that the images be digitized and then compressed. They were put through a process called UUENCODE. This made the files compliant with standard ASCII format so they could be posted to the newsgroup like any other message.

To view the file one needed to download it and then UUDECODE the file to return it to its original format. The final step was to open the file using software that allowed the user to view digital images. Because of this difficult process only the computer literate could partake.

Today the situation is very different. The creation of user friendly browsing software and the use of WWW protocols makes the sending and recieving of images very easy. So easy even a child can do it. Therein lies the the problem. Even the dificult newsgroups are made easy. The WWW browsers can read the newsgroups and even decode the image information on the fly.

It's easy to see why the debate has heated up. As more and more people log on the likelyhood grows that users will stumble across something they don't want see. A major event in the life of the Web was a report in Time magazine on the alleged pornography on the Web. The article was based on a much disputed study by a student from Carnegie Mellon University named Martin Rimm.


One important result of the Rimm study was that parties trying to censor information on the Internet now had ammunition. Many regular Net users were immediately convinced that the report was false but the media picked up the story and repeated it to the masses. Now there were millions of adults across the country afraid to let their children use the Internet for fear they would find the sea of filth that was proclaimed in the Rimm study. There was aready momentum in Congress for the bills that would censor the Net. In March 1995 Senator James Exon of Nebraska put together a bill that would be included in the telecommunications reform package. The bill was designed to ban indecent speech.

Update on CDA

In Philadelphia the constitutionality of the CDA was challenged by the CITIZENS INTERNET EMPOWERMENT COALITION and the challenge was upheld. As a result, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case and it being considered as we speak.


Some of the sights on the Web are definitely for those with "exotic" tastes. It can be politically incorrect or downright offensive to some.
