Uh, when was that, exactly, in your fictional alternate timeline?

1 min = 60 sec
1 hr = 60 min
1 day = 24 hr
....

As far as I can tell, except for a few restrictions about copyright
violations, libelous content and child pornography, there are really no
restrictions on the content you might find on *any* URL, and there never
have been, at least in the US.

There are "real" restrictions made readily available to us, and "real" and
already well established standards. There are "real" and well stated Terms
of Use, or Terms of Service, on most internet websites, at least in the US.


So, what color is the sky on your planet?

Mostly blue I'd say, during the day, but mostly black at night. But if I
went way up on the planet, or way down on the planet, the sky is sometimes
always blue, because the really big yellow thing that we call the Sun
doesn't go down below the horizon for quite some time, or sometimes always
black, because the really big yellow thing doesn't show up for a while.

* R : Racially or Ethnically Offensive Content

This is not a "fictional" witch hunt or a zealous "crusade," it is simply
about getting some responsible adults to watch, and find out what is out
there for anyone to see, including children.

I've found that places like YouTube, who are actually trying to keep it
"FUN, CLEAN and REAL," are swamped with the massive volume of inappropriate
material being published. They have mechanisms to clean things up, but
YouTube relies mostly on its users to flag any content found to be
inappropriate for public view.

Seeing this as a parent, I wrote a program to expedite the identification
and flagging of things that I don't think that my kids or anyone else's
kids should see by accident. I generally don't want to see it by accident
either.

F-off.
