A child seeing such a page will ordinarily go instead to something they understand. Unless we're talking about teen-agers. I see this as an excellent example of the slippery slope we would be in if we did anything targeted at facilitating censorship, especially considering the author of the book is a major writer. There are some elements of these themes in some of his other work also. Do we label them as well?
The only sustainable position is that readers can do what they want with our content. If they can derive a filter for what hey want . (I don't see how they can for a novel except by putting it specifically on a blacklist) On Sun, Jul 25, 2010 at 2:54 PM, geni <geni...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 25 July 2010 18:17, Andreas Kolbe <jayen...@yahoo.com> wrote: >> You're right, it is not just about images.
