A ridiculous lawsuit
This is a ridiculous story and an even dumber lawsuit. It is an effort to completely abdicate parental responsibility and sends a terrible message to the child involved. Whatever she does wrong is not her fault, but the fault of the corporation that "let her" do it. Seen from that angle, there are a host of potential defendants: the camera or cellphone company, the computer manufacturer, the telecommunications provider, the ISP, even the clothing and makeup manufacturers. I'm an attorney myself, and I have to say that this type of lawsuit makes tort reform look like a better idea.

New Book on FCC and Decency
Hi all --
For those who are interested in this subject, please check out "The Decency Wars: The Campaign to Cleanse American Culture." I am the author of "The Decency Wars," which is a history of the battles over decency in American history. Included in the book is the story of how the FCC started, how it came to police indecency, and how (and why) religious groups have tried to use the power of the FCC to promote a particular moral agenda.
The book can be obtained at local bookstores or online. If anyone has any questions, please let me know.
Regards,
Fred
