This is in response to Alana’s cyberporn blog. I understand completely where you’re coming from because I’ve experienced a bunch of pornographic pop up with my little brother (he was only 6 at the time) right next to me. Thankfully he didn’t see any of it, but after reading your blog, it just brought me back to that time. I agree with everything you stated on your blog, especially the part of how bad it will get. I mean, you stated you had 26 pop up ads sprawled across your page, can you imagine how many you’ll get 5 years from now? Or 10 years from now? I’m pretty upset too about it being legal and all, and I do agree that a website should have a limit to how many pop up ads it displays. I did a little research to see if there are any laws in process to limit pop up ads, but unfortunately there hasn’t been. The reason there isn’t a law is because websites aren’t free, therefore you need money to keep the website up. Advertisers pay the websites for the pop up ads, which in turn will keep the website up and running. As much as I hate pop up ads and want them to disappear forever, I guess you have to see it from the other point of view.
