Attorney General Gonzales' Silly Call for Website Content Labels

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ call for website ratings, labels and marks is responded to by the folks at Threadwatch:
Pointless. If it becomes onerous, the adult sites will just switch overseas. The only measurable effect will be column inches for Mr Gonzales, which was presumably the point in the first place.
The porn fight has been going on for awhile with Bush. He’s gotten tons of flack from the religious sectors about not going hard after it. The ridiculous 2257 regulations which were found unconstitutional was one of the ways. It’s scary though that they could end up one day making it so difficult on people who want to put up adult content, that they just don’t bother.
