The US federal government is proposing regulations which may eventually lead to the closing down of several adult social networking sites. They are doing this in their “efforts” to fight child pornography. Enacted in 1998, Section 2257 or The Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act of 1988 is a federal law designed to fight child pornography. We are one with the whole world in the fight against child pornography and this seems like a good law to protect our youngsters. This is a good cause right? Right.
The 2257 Regulations were originally designed to require producers of sexually explicit material to acquire proof of age of all their “actors” and likewise keep these on record. (If you have adult videos like Corbin Fisher and Sean Cody, you would see these notices at the beginning of the clips.) [sample below]
However, in 2006, it was amended and was expanded to regulate the Internet and the term “secondary producers” was introduced. Secondary producers are those who publish, reproduce or reissue explicit material, ergo adult social networking site owners and administrators:
A “secondary producer” is defined as any person who produces, assembles, manufactures, publishes, duplicates, reproduces, or reissues a book, magazine, periodical, film, videotape, or other matter intended for commercial distribution that contains a visual depiction of actual sexually explicit conduct.
So how does it affect users and members of adult social networking sites (straight and gay, mind you)? The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force breaks them down into the following: » Read more: 2257 Regulations: The End of Guys4Men?
My question now is: Why do I get men who seem so great (not to mention superhot!) yet always come with a lot of issues (read: psychos)? For his security (estrus lang!), we will call him G4MGuy
