An organization called the MIT Student Association for Freedom of Expression (SAFE) has a nice listing of sites that discuss the relationship between ratings and censorship: http://www.mit.edu/activities/safe/safe/labeling/summary.html If you don't have time to read everything it points to, I suggest you at least look at: ftp://ftp.eff.org/pub/CAF/faq/labeling Email me for an update on the mail-bombing of the Basque nationalist Web site. As providers routinely do, America Online recently tried to throw off of its service a company that was sending unsolicited email to thousands of people (spamming). But the company struck back with a lawsuit and an unusual claim that it was not spamming. Email me for the article. Also email me for some articles about encryption, including an accusation by EPIC that the Clinton administration has been planning all along to make key escrow (Clipper) mandatory. Thanks to Richard Moore for several of these notices.
