Don't quote me on this, but I think that this form of treatment is available to offenders if they choose - and that is where I would leave it, with the individual rather than the state. We seem to have far more lenient parole in Europe than you do in the States and there is great unease about the way we allow people back into the community whilst they still represent a danger.

But I don't believe the old feminist mantra that all men are rapists.

Existing European censorship on other media is very liberal in that anything performed by two consenting adults is ok. Therefore bestiality, necrophilia and paedophilia are no no's. The problem area is the rougher stuff.

Having the internet consistent with this position does not seem repressive to me.
