Nothing really other than there will be no gray area around here when it comes to this sort of stuff (as far as I've gathered). It's now officially against the rules to do this, whereas before certain images were open to debate when it comes to this.

you should allow child porn, but then ban the users who post it

Does that mean we can't even post nude (not even sexual) pictures on our own websites?

so basically in addition to a warning we also need proof that the person is 18 now...

I think I get it.. thanks waid.

And yes, I think this law needs to be challenged and defeated.

I'm not saying it isn't sick, or morally wrong, but it isn't illegal. Look it up.

No, it just means you have to put a warning label in front of the link to your website.

WRONG. You can't just put a warning label, that is not what 2257 is about. Go read the link I posted.

If you display explicit images of nude people (having sex, masterbating, or anything that can be called explicit, which is a really loose term and why this law is scary) you have to maintain records of the people's contact info. So if you can't prove with records that the people are over 18 you better not display their images. We may have to remove a lot of portal content. We probably should be doing something already to remove it from public view. This law may change as it is being heavily challenged.

wat do you mean by remove from public few? as in make it so us members cant be members anymoe? oh damn, i love newgrounds :( please tell me that isnt true.

He means take it [the pornography] off of Newgrounds. It does not effect your membership, that is unless you post something illegal, then you are outta' here!

Wade, how did you find out about this new law? Has it already been passed, or is it still being refined? I bet it was somewhat of a shocker...

I hate nude images.

Come to Canada then.
Really we're not that bad. :)

Oh well.. seems that the probation of the government willing to block such images have become active. Too bad really, seeing as even nude (by not being porn) can be posted on any former website any longer. But just a question: does this mean that photographs of nudity (as in an art representation) that are on a bundle of sites such as DA, would they have to be blocked too?

That law is gonna nock down the nude images on websites by a lot.

i thought that as long as something was 'blurred' out, it wasn't considered explicit?

Yes, but the ads don't contain any nudity. Do they.

Roger that!

this is some sort of hoax, beacuse who here has heard of this "new law" anywhere but here? if its such a big deal it would have been on the news not on some random website. besides i just visited rotten and they made no mention of any of this. come on people dont belive everything that u read.
