After reading the article of the new mandatory web labeling law, I couldn’t help but smile to think that something is finally being done about these pornographic sites. I’ve had plenty of experiences where I’m surfing the web, and these pop-ups of pornographic sites would just come up out of no where. My 10 year old little brother just learned to use the internet, and what if he had stumbled upon these sites. I couldn’t help but think what if my he saw these pop-ups? The fact that the Bush administration is finally doing something about this problem means we’re taking a step forward in preventing sexually explicit material on the web. The opposition argued “that its requirements amount to an unreasonable imposition on Americans' rights to free expression”, and I definitely agree with that statement, but I think this law (if it passes) would be a big benefit to the community. I think these websites should just suck it up, accept it, and stop arguing it because safety comes first.
