Upcoming Changes for Adult Content in SecondLIfe

The Internet in the 21st Century and Beyond.

From what I have read, it seems that Linden Labs is moving in the right direction. Since they are constantly growing with this concept of allowing the users of SecondLife to know what difference in a PG sim vs a mature one, thing will improve and be frustrating for some users. Remember in real life, laws are designed to serve and protect.

The biggest thing about SecondLife is that no political government is having their dirty little hands in these virtual worlds It seems to me that Linden Labs is working hard to keep it that way by showing that they can do their best in controlling who goes into adult sims. It might not be a perfect set up, but I have to admit it is much better then the previous one. The best way to keep children from adult content online is by proper parental supervision. Talking/teaching children about the human body is the best way to control adult content in life.

By that proper education can the curiosity of sex be controlled. Ignorance does nothing. We need not fear things in life, but learn and understand them. There might be a good bit of pornography online and in SecondLife, but there are tons more in life and in SecondLife that has nothing to do with sex. When I was young, I was asked, "Would you jump into a pool without seeing if it had water in it?" That is what we all must do in SecondLife, "Look before you teleport."

If you do not like chocolate ice cream, then do not eat it. We cannot stop sexual explicit things online or offline. The only thing we can do is use our own judgment, and stay away from things that do not fit our fancy. Life can go on with or without us. I am happy to see that Linden Labs is changing the initial format they had in controlling adult content. I hope they will learn as they grow with this. As the technical age constantly changes, so should we all along with it. Life does not wait for anyone. We either fall behind, or grab on with both hands.

I still strongly perfer that the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) do a much better job in such manners. It would make it much easier for all if children were stopped at the first gate (logging in), than having to stop everyone else due to criminal activities. Sex in itself is not the big issue. Child safety is the big issue. Tht is why I have and will state here, "The Internet is no place for a child. Just the same they need to learn how to use it. Nearly everything is online.


Blessed Be to Isis and you,
