The US has passed legislation which controls what website operators are allowed to put in their site meta tags. The law bans the use of words which might lead anyone to obscene content. Go on reading.

Meta tag abusers face 20 years in prison under US law.

Whew, you had me worried there for a second. How many webmasters would get locked up for keyword stuffing.

Sorry Ken, I think I missed that one. Or? :)

Are there any government site sources with this information?

How Draconian, child abusers only get a few years and state sanctioned violence is condoned, in fact it is extremely big business, but heaven help a lonely consenting adult.

I will read the topic thread but as a parent and an adult I find violence, in movies, on TV and especially real life far more obscene than any sexual act ( excluding violent acts - because of the VIOLENCE).

As you no doubt can tell its getting very late at night over here and I have had a gut full (Australian coloquialism) of the carnage we are seeing every day on TV and the lack of political will to stop it - but a few right wing religious nuts can wield great power over things that by comparison do not matter and are not their business.
And if ASIO and the CIA are going to archive this post well they can damn well give me a back link for it.

yes I agree there are far too many inconsistancies in the legal system.

Althought I think they are tougher in a lot of crimes in the US from what I have seen, which in general is a good thing, I think.


I dont know about this case in question though, it seems way over the top. But if these sites (with misleading meta tags)lead unsupecting children to pornography then that is bad.

I suppose in an ideal world all sites on the net should be up front and honest so that you get what you search for with no surprises.
