Is this not a good opportunity to look at Geographical Location of editors? Excellent thread by all of you. Thanks David
How do you police the web when it would involve knowing the laws of every land from whence a web site is run/published/hosted?

The only thing we can do at this point (as we are not lawyers versed in international trade/law) is try to be aware and try to get the laws enforced where we live/work. And hope folks in other locals do the same.

Beyond that ... it would take <shudder> One World Government.
