lazyangel wrote a fantastic post in response to this that I think everyone should read, because not only is it thoughtful, it's wise.
So LJ News/Releases/Biz just announced we can rate our own journals... and if someone isn't logged in and we've rated them "Adult Concepts" they have to click a little button that says they're over 14. (I tried it... that's what happens). I don't know what they have to do if we decide our content is explicit... but I'm curious....
What do you guys think of this new system? Is it weird? Is it worth it? Will you use it? Is it going to annoy the crap out of you?
here's the link to the biz post explaining what it is
So, it's poll time....
[Poll #1097548]

Date: 2007-11-30 01:02 am (UTC)I certainly won't use it. My LJ is flist-locked but only occasionally more than an '18' certificate anyway. But then I guess I use my LJ more as a diary than a LOOK HAWT MEN INSERTING THEIR PENISES (peni?) INTO EACH OTHER type thing. Hmmm.
(Why would a child be surfing for shit like that anyway?! I have spent probably half my life using the internets and I've never been offered free porn or come across (haha) anything dodgy, really. ...Sigh!)

As far as the searching for porn when you're too young thing - this really isn't going to stop it. People are going to find it if they're looking, and as you so helpfully point out, they're not going to find it if they're not looking for it! I have come across lots of dodgy things, even in google searches (but perhaps my brain is more bent? i dunno)
