1984: Internet Censorship


Quick quiz: What is the most profitable internet business of all time? If you said pr0n, give yourself a gold star. If it weren't for easy access to dirty pictures, Al Gore's internet probably would have died during the 1999 dot-bomb. So it is with much surprise that authorities would arrest a Florida man for obscenity. Christopher M. Wilson, of Lakeland (FL) apparently runs an adult web site. The site has also allowed soldiers to post photographs of people killed in Iraq.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said late Friday that the 300 obscenity-related charges against [Lakeland's Christopher M. Wilson] -- which include counts of distribution of obscene material, offering to distribute obscene material and possession of obscene material with intent to distribute -- involve sexual content posted on his Web site, and not graphic war-scene images posted by soldiers.

"It is the most horrific, vile, perverted sexual conduct," Judd said. "It is as vile, as perverted, as non-normal sexual conduct -- which rises to the level of obscenity -- as we've ever investigated."

Judd, however, said he could not describe the sex acts because "they really can't be printed in the newspaper."
