The Growing Threat Of Pornography |
- The Internet carries unique threats. The Department of Justice said, "Never before in the history of telecommunications media in the United States has so much indecent (and obscene) material
been so easily accessible by so many minors in so many American homes with so few restrictions." -- U.S. Department of Justice, Post Hearing Memorandum of Points and Authorities, at l,
ACLU v. Reno, 929 F. Supp. 824 (1996).
- President Clinton has pledged that every American classroom will be connected to the Internet by the year 2000. * -- President William J. Clinton, State of the Union Address
(Jan. 23, 1996), HTTP://www.democrats.org.80/bottomline/challenge/state of union.
- Pornographic entertainment on the Internet constituted the third largest sector of sales in cyberspace, with estimated annual revenues of $100 million. Such marketing success has fueled an
increase in the size of the pornography industry -- $10 billion annually, according to conservative estimates. -- Anthony Flint, Skin Trade Spreading Across U.S.,
Boston Sunday Globe, Dec. 1, 1996, at A1.
