slightly off topic. Today I realized that my 3g plan is censoring adult content. I also listened to a podcaster talk about renaming his podcast "talkings hit" to get passed the itunes criteria. The paper had some silly fluff article about Facebook and breastfeeding pictures. Youtube is stricter than TV on nudity (and laxer on violence). These were all little corners of the internet up until recently and it seemed all right that they all have their own rules. Suddenly they pretty much are the internet and soon the will be the computer. I don't like it.

Yesterday, Facebook wouldn't let me post a link to a pirate sports video stream, so they're censoring based on copyrights too.

Youtube is stricter than TV on nudity except for stuff like this (very NSFW just after the 8 minute mark) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLjRExyIBNM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLjRExyIBNM which somehow is still there [Edit - it's Penn & Teller on Taxes, part 3]

  With only 3,000 viewers so far, perhaps it's just nobody's complained yet?

  Youtube restricts pornography not nudity.

> Youtube is stricter than TV on nudity (and laxer on violence). In your country. sigh Many, many developed nations allow swearing, violence and nudity on TV at all times of the day.
