Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The head of Australian child protection charity
Childwise, Bernadette McMenamin, asks if "we really need to see a woman masturbating on Wikipedia? Do we
really need to see so many seconds of ejaculation?"
The answer, of course, is that it depends on
what 'the crowd' think, in its wisdom. That is how Wikipedia operates,
and if specific images or videos are found to be offensive by enough
Wikipedia visitors then they will get removed.
Editors already remove images depicting acts of child or animal abuse
as a matter of course, and pornography for the sake of it tends to go
the same way. The trouble is, with more than 10 million individual
entries in 253 languages, it can be hard work keeping on top of them
all.
It is possible, if you sign up for a free Wikipedia account so that it
can drop a cookie on your system to keep track of your preferences, to
disable the display of images for specific articles or site-wide for
'bad images.'
Wikipedia keeps a bad image list, and once logged in you can simply
specify that all the images that are listed at MediaWiki:Bad be hidden.
Just change your personal JavaScript page as described on
Wikipedia itself.
Alternatively, you can take advice from my late father who used to say
'if porn offends you so much, stop looking at it' which, in the case of
Wikipedia could be adapted to:
If you find porn offensive, stop searching for it!
