In Supremes defend American net smut (yet again)
"Supremes defend American net smut (yet again)"
Wrong. SCotUS basically said "if you're an adult with children, please see to it that your kids don't surf to adult areas of the Internet" ... Has more to do with adult freedom of discussion and said adults shielding their own children from it (if they care[1]) than anything "smut"[2] related.
Instead, how about "Sepremes defend adults discussing adult stuff on t'intratubes" with a sub heading of "Chief Justice suggests not allowing your kid to google for porn" ... Or something.
I realize ElReg is a RedTop, but would it be too difficult for you to stop trying to over sensationalize things that give the anti-free-speech folks more ammunition, on both sides of the pond?
[1] Ignorant, illiterate adults with children is another issue entirely ...
[2] Please define "smut" ... G'wan, I dare you.
