 by Michael Flood suggests "exposure to pornography helps to sustain young people's adherence to sexist and unhealthy notions of sex and relationships," but would we see the same impact from Maggie Mayhem's feminist porn that we would from Playboy?

Lumping the two together is like trying ask, "do video games make people violent," without bothering to differentiate between the Grand Theft Auto series and Pacman. It undermines research, but more seriously it can lead people to tackle the wrong problem. It could well be true, for example, that the majority of porn reinforces misogynistic attitudes, and that this could damage young children as a result; but if that's the case then the problem is misogyny, not pornography, and it needs to be tackled wherever it appears, not just in the adult entertainment industry.

Are all degrading depictions of women a problem, or just the ones where they're naked? Are kids more damaged by women who appear as little more than sex objects in porn films, or by the obsession newspapers and magazines have with bullying celebrities over minute changes in their weight? Is sex the only problem, or should we be equally concerned about violence, or newspapers gratuitously publishing pictures of dead bodies?

Thank God we don't need to tackle these difficult research questions. Thank God we can just impose a simple brute-force solution on one arbitrary subsection of the media that we don't like, and pretend the problems have all gone away. Thank God for the state's wisdom in matters of obscenity. Thank God for our moral guardians. And thank God for the Daily Mail; in the future, it could be all that's left to masturbate to.

In 2005, Sony Pictures Entertainment was audited to ensure the company was keeping in line with federal regulation regarding information security practices. The auditor found, among other things, that Sony had deliberately engaged in insufficient digital security practices, including allowing employees to use basic proper nouns as passwords instead of requiring them to use a complex system involving random letters, numbers and punctuation marks.

If Sony were a bank, the auditor said, its lackluster security practices would put it out of business.

Sony’s then-executive director of security information Jason Spaltro pushed back: If a bank was a Hollywood film studio, he said, it would already be out of business.

 Are all degrading depictions of women a problem, or just the ones where they're naked? Are child more damaged by women who look equally little more than sex objects in porn film, or by the compulsion newspapers and magazines have with strong-arm celebrities over minute changes in their weight?
