Dear mouse,
The expected reaction of some bloggers regarding the closing of the boybastos website and apprehension of the operator/Ayala Alabang Village resident of the said porn site is the infringement of freedom of expression.
Ederic asks
Kung sakaling maipasara ng gobyerno ang website, maituturing ba itong paglabag sa freedom of expression?
There are certain types of speech that could be allowed on the Internet. And if people have the rights to write sexually-explicit materials (For MONEY, so much about moral and ethical responsibilities inculcated by the elite schools where some of these kick-ass writers graduated from and parents who claim of good parenting that they check the morals of other parents), there are more people who do not want to see, watch, read them nor they want their children’s minds to be corrupted by these filthy materials.
And it they think that it is only an overzealous, aspiring-to-become-the-President, feisty senator who’s alarmed by porn sites, think again. There had been legislations in the US to
construct an online red-light district for the adult-entertainment industry by creating domain names identifying the porn sites from other websites such as gov. for government websites and edu for educational institutions.
Samantala, may tila banta rin ang boybastos.com sa nangungunang 2010 presidentiable:
Ipasara ninyo kami sa gusto nyo. Sa bawat sulok ng Pilipinas may nakakakilala sa boy bastos. Sa bawat bahay sa Pilipinas, may boy bastos. Nakakalungkot kung ito’y mapatupad, at hindi po namin kakalimutan kung sino ang may kagagawan.
True, there are one or two boybastos in every household but there are more than this number who should not be accessing these sites–the young children and our population comprised primarily of young people. What effects do these have on young children. They develop VOYEURISM that they spend money just so they go to the internet to access these sites.
“Boybastos is not even hosted in the Philippines, so how would you shutdown this site?”
In the US, the authorities are more strict when it comes to websites that would corrupt the minors.
Some bloggers raised a howl for the shut down of the porn site. The hotlinked photos to the website also drive traffic to their celebrity/scandal websites. Their loss.
The Ca t
ang kasagutan dito sa sitwasyon na ito ay turuan ang mga magulang , mga guro, mga religious people, at iba pang mga volunteer educators na ipaliwanag kung ano itong mga porn sites na ito at bakit hindi ito dapat pag-ukulan ng pansin sa internet. Hindi mapipigilan ang mga ganitong klaseng website dahil masyado ng high tech dito sa America at ang mga may salapi diyan sa Pilipinas o mga foreigners na pedophile(na namamalagi diyan sa PIlipinas) ay kaya din nilang magtayo ng mga ganitong websites, karapatan nila iyon. Noon sabado ay ipinalabas sa 20/20 ABC ang kanilang report sa Dateline NBC tungkol sa mga online predators

‘To Catch a Predator’: A Sting Gone Bad

Brian Ross and Vic Walter Report:
Despite all of its success in bringing attention to the problem of adults sexually preying on children over the Internet, NBC’s “Dateline” series, “To Catch a Predator,” has raised some troubling questions for both law enforcement and the news media.
As six other police departments had done before, the Murphy, Texas police department made a deal with “Dateline”: to allow NBC cameras to record the sting and to let people hired by “Dateline” actually set up and run the sting, much to the astonishment of a local district attorney.

In a letter sent to the Murphy police department in advance, Collin County District Attorney John Roach said the deal was a bad idea.
We’re “in the law enforcement business, not show business,” read the letter.
In an interview with ABC News, Roach explained his letter,”The police department, the professionals weren’t in control of the entire operation. They weren’t calling the shots; somebody else was.”

But the district attorney’s warning was ignored.
The sting set up by NBC and Perverted Justice — a civilian watchdog group hired as a paid consultant by NBC — brought in some 20 men, who were arrested as alleged sexual predators.
But the one man, the one very important man “Dateline” thought it had caught, did not show up.
William Conradt, 56, an assistant district attorney in a neighboring county, did not go to the sting house even after Dateline had one of its actors call him three different times to get him to walk into the trap.

“There’s no question that they wanted him,” said Bruce Baron, the attorney representing the Conradt family in a lawsuit against NBC. “There’s no question that they would take him at any price.”
With Conradt not taking the bait, a decision was made to go get him at his home in the nearby town of Terrell.
It was a decision that would raise questions about why the rush to arrest him on a Sunday afternoon.
Former Murphy police officer Sam Love, who appeared on “To Catch a Predator” and has since left the force in disgust, says the decision was made at the suggestion of NBC’s Chris Hansen.
“Their hope was that the man would come out to go to the store for something or the church or whatever, and Chris Hansen and his crew could confront him and interview him before the arrest was made,” Love told ABC News.
NBC and the Murphy police deny NBC played any role in the decision to make the arrest, which involved a swat team breaking down Conradt’s door when he did not answer.
Conradt’s sister Patricia told “20/20″ the police broke in and then headed down a hallway to the bedroom where her brother was waiting for them with a gun in his hand.
“They came in, and they see him,” Patricia said. “He says, ‘Guys, I’m not gonna hurt anybody.’ And then he put the gun to his head and shot.”
Police called in a helicopter to rush the critically injured suspect to the hospital.
William Conradt died shortly after the helicopter landed at a Dallas hospital.
“I understand he took his own life, but I have a feeling that he took his own life when he looked out the door and saw there were a bunch of television cameras outside,” said former Murphy detective Walt Weiss, who like Love, left the force in disgust.
The two former Murphy detectives say many in their department shrugged off Conradt’s death.
“It didn’t matter that that person died because he was just, in their opinion, a child molester or a pervert, if you will,” Weiss told ABC News. “I mean it was pushed aside and shoved under the rug.”
NBC and Perverted Justice have both strongly defended their actions in the case, but no one from either organization would agree to appear on “20/20.”
In a “Dateline” update broadcast just a few days ago, reporter Chris Hansen offered a new possible explanation for Conradt’s suicide, saying “they found child pornography on his computer” after his death.
As for the other 23 alleged sexual predators arrested that day, the district attorney, John Roach, has thrown out their cases, saying the police’s reliance on NBC “Dateline’s” investigation compromised the evidence obtained.
Murphy police chief Bill Myrick adamantly denies this.

For four days men showed up at an undercover house in Murphy, Texas.
They had all chatted online about sex with a decoy pretending to be a young teen. The decoy was a member of the watchdog group Perverted Justice, paid consultants of Dateline.
Decoy: So are still coming over or what?

thanks for the links lorena.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
hahahahahahahaha
haha hahahahahah…
hah… hah…
*ubo* *ubo*
Pasensya na nabilaukan ako sa kakatawa sa isa sa mga paragraph na nabasa ko. Alam kaya ni Senadora yan? Hehehe.
“ang kasagutan dito sa sitwasyon na ito ay turuan ang mga magulang , mga guro, mga religious people, at iba pang mga volunteer educators na ipaliwanag kung ano itong mga porn sites na ito at bakit hindi ito dapat pag-ukulan ng pansin sa internet. Hindi mapipigilan ang mga ganitong klaseng website……”
plagay ko paiiralin lang dito ang mas masaprap gawin ang bawal.
nasubukan na ang information,campaign,values education,etc.etc.
pati na din ang cyber nanny at software na kagaya nito nasubukan na din, ewan ko lang kung me gumagamit ng cybernanny sa pinas. pero karamihan dito di naman sa bahay nagiinternet. Sa opisina namin dati we blocked some of the pornsites na alam namin at sinubukan ang ilan filters pero hanggang dun lang.
Ang mga internet shop,na nasa tapat na ng mga schools ,ni computer games nga di mapigilan,porn pa at yung computer shops na yun ang kailangan may cyber nanny lalo na yung malapit sa schools.
shutting down a site that are not hosted here,is still beyond us,sa totoo lang. Not even the interpol division of our NBI would not seem to be capable of doing so.
But I do see some raids done by the NBI on some pedophiles, which for me is good news,but they are based here.
dito sa king dating opis na quasi govt, may nahuli na nagvivisit sa mga porn site at ipinorward niya sa mga ka-officemate, ang parusa sa kanya binawasan ng $100.00/month ang sweldo niya and this person can not get promoted for 3 years. Kaya nasa mga gumagamit ang pagdidisiplina sa sarili
Maraming mga computer shop (fortunately) ang nagbabawal na mismo ng mga porn sites dahil punung-puno ng virus yung marami sa mga sites na iyan. Sobrang raming oras ang nasasayang kakahanap at kakabura nung mga virus/malware na dulot ng ibang porn site.
So I guess nagba-backfire din yung popularity nila.
Karl,
At least the authorities are doing something about it. Syempre money talks kaya pag nasara, bumubukas din agad.
Lorena,
Buti hindi siya inalis.
semi govt office kaya hindi naman talaga nagpapatalsik pero kung private, talagang kukuha na siya ng empty box para buhatin ang mga gamit niya. paalala, sa mga kabayan ingat din sa pagfoforward ng mga chain e-mails na may malicious content kasi minsan iba ang napapdalhan and they do file cases not against the person who sent it but they do file a case of harrasssment sa company, kasi minsan nawala na ang sense of humor ng mga kabayan natin na naging Amerikano na ang ugali.
Cath,
Have to agree with you regarding the “close open” (parang baby)!
As to John Limjap’s coment: Have to agree also that it is harder to clean up the malware,the spyware,the worms and the viruses.
tell me about it. madalas noon nirereinstall ko ang aking hardware para maalis yang mga yan.
everyday we see these racy issues, no need to go to the internet, just look at the tabloids being sold on the sidewalk, tv commercials, Wowowee, enough to trigger your imaginations
Do Racy Ads Aimed at Teens Cross a Line?
Clearasil Ad Shows Teen Hitting on Friend’s Mom, While Carl’s Jr. Ad Features Teacher With ‘Two Flat Buns’
A risqué new television ad for the acne medication Clearasil is called “May Cause Confidence,” but what it’s really causing is controversy.
A teen featured in the Clearasil commercial gains so much confidence he even hits on his friend’s mother. In another Clearasil ad, a teen sits on the couch between his girlfriend and her mother, who is showing him naked baby pictures of the girl. “You should see me now,” the girlfriend says suggestively to the boy.
hindi ninyo sinasagot ang mga internet namin daya ninyo kung cnu lang man ang mag babasa d2 madaya kayo sagutin nyo dapat mga internet na gusto namin isearch ok hhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
