But this mostly-below-the-radar caught my attention, as being Friday-worthy. It is certainly unprofessional for people who should have their metaphorical fingers on the hot buttons of missles to focus their attention on something else hot fingering. But isn't that true of more than just porn?
I am not a prude; heck, I wrote a post here with the title in praise of porn and freedom that involved quoting the Marquis de Sade's political philosophy quotes. Most people know de Sade only for his sexual exploits and writing, and are not aware of his heroism or his support for democracy in france, including as an elected delagate to their National Convention during the Revolution.
Aren't there plenty of OTHER sites that are sources of malware -- or do I run security scans for the heck of it, since I'm not spending my time on porn sites? Are we less victims of those? The worst malware I've had to contend with came from a translation / dictionary site - related to Babylon. If you follow this line of reasoning, we're victims of dictionary sites too. But THAT doesn't plug into the right wing anti-porn position, like that of Mitts on R-money who wants to make all computers after he's elected incapable of accessing porn sites. I personally have no problem with computers on our missile control networks being disabled from porn access - but the right wants to control what EVERYONE can - or can't - access. Yeah - so much for the freedom lovers, NOT.
I think it is a stretch to claim that having to run cyber security for malware makes us porn victims - we have overt cyber attacks frequently, not just a risk from dormant code waiting to strike the unsuspecting lusty government employee or contractor.
It is EVERY source of malware that attempts to harm us, not porn itself. Conservatives, and especially the religious right HATE sex.
This is a bit of a stretch, to claim our national security is a porn victim because of potential cyber attack. It can be as true of a badly secured on-line shopping sites; but claiming business makes us victims wouldn't conform to the God Loves Capitalism mantra of religious fundy nuts like Fischer.
Before you are too persuaded, remember this guy was also claiming that Butterball turkeys were not only Halal, but were part of a secret plot to Islamicize us all by tricking us into eating Muslim poultry. Apparently, Fischer believes you become Muslim like you contract Salmonella, from eating bad poultry. (The Butterball turkeys aren't Halal of course, until IN MUSLIM COUNTRIES THAT IMPORT THEM, the are further processed through a religious ceremony, formal/official marking, etc.).
So take EVERYTHING Fischer says with a highway department dump truck load of salt; he's part of that right wing media that consistently fear mongers with factually inaccurate bullshit. WHY conservatives just love love love to be lied to still eludes me; but it seems to make them happy.
Certainly their logic-challenged factually-defective propaganda entertains the rest of us who live in fact-based, verifiable, objective reality.

From Right Wing Watch : Fischer Discovers Proof that Pornography is not a Victimless Crime

Recently the Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency issued a warning to employees and contractors not to use their computers to visit pornographic websites because it was not only unprofessional and a violation of government regulations, but such websites often contain viruses and malware that could compromise the missile defense network.
And for Bryan Fischer, that was proof that pornography is not a victimless crime because "you and I could get incinerated, burned to a crisp, toasted because some guy is looking at porn instead of taking care of our missile defense system; [so] do not tell me it is a victimless crime":

I don't understand what the photo had to do with malware.
ReplyDeleteIt has to do with the other kinds of sites that some people look at - guns. I made a joke about what gun nuts enjoy as porn.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of sites that have malware is the point; it is the malware that victimizes us, not porn.
