[mvkbgjfi] Child pornography and the internet

Perhaps the second biggest barrier to freedom of the internet is the censorship of child pornography.  It is striking that the development of the newest technology of mankind is being shaped by the oldest instincts of all life on earth: sexual reproduction (and its perversion) and care for young offspring.  (Like, E. coli would have a problem with child pornography of itself, assuming it can express the notion of "having a problem with"!)

Contrast this to copyright, which is a recent human invention, and extremely recent on the time scale of all life on earth.
