House votes on Net porn

News.com Is Reporting The U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly on Thursday to ban pornographic Internet sites with misleading addresses and computer-generated child pornography.

“The Internet can be used to deceive children into viewing inappropriate material,” said Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., who drafted the domain name amendment. “These Web sites use legitimate-sounding domain names to lure children to sites with sexually explicit material. Imagine your own child visiting a Web site with a domain name that sounds like it contains educational or child-related materials, only to have a lewd image pop up on the monitor.”
