Lincoln Offers Anti-Pornography Law WASHINGTON - Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas introduced a bill today that would regulate access to Internet sex sites and tax money generated through online pornography. Lincoln said the bill is based on a report by the centrist Senate think-tank Third Way. The report says the $12 billion Internet pornography industry preys on children to increase revenue. Lincoln's Internet Safety and Child Protection Act seeks a 25 percent excise tax on membership or advertising sales at sex-related sites. Revenues from the tax would fund family-friendly Internet education programs and support enforcement of laws targeting Internet-based crimes against children. It's for the children. |
