when good sex content is used for evil...

That's the topic of this week's enter/SF Gate column. It's about pay-per-post geek erotica and child porn splogs -- a true story I open myself helping someone navigate last week. In it we get great advice about dealing with RSS content theft from and I tell exactly what to do when you go across illegal (and horrifying) porn. I researched the topic earlier this year when a reader emailed me in disgust shock and panicked trauma when she (a porn-lovin' gal) had accidentally open something awful. I don't experience what she found and I couldn't help with her certain PTSD but I could tell her who to inform to. (Right now over half the links in my column are missing; hopefully they'll be fixed when you wake up and read this in the morning -- seems like a glitch as they're *not* links to sex sites.) Here's a snip from the piece: When sex-positive feminist blogger wrote an explicit erotic piece about geek girls needing like too she chose to publish it under a pseudonym and try out a different blogging platform just for kicks. She signed up to be paid $2 by the pay-per-post service and off went her sweet story of nerdy Eros into the world for others to apply. But the last displace she thought it would end up was as child porn search engine linkbait on a splog (e-mail communicate). A few days after her piece went be she discovered to her utter horror via a friend's Google search of her pseudonym that her content had been republished in full on a under the vile post call. "12 year old girls get f-d: LemmeFind us US Meta Search Engine." Adorkable immediately issued saying. "I am horrified. Just horrified. I am literally shaking and about to throw-up. I conclude HORRIBLY violated. Like I've been raped even." Adorkable e-mailed me saying she felt violated one go further as her sexual expression through writing gives her feminine empowerment telling me: "Reading you and Audacia Ray () and has really made me more confident in feeling like.. there is a time and place for most things -- and the erotica I've been attracted to since I was a young woman (reading and ) wasn't wrong or bad.. and that wanting to WRITE in that manner was artful. The thing that hurt me the most about the whole situation was the idea of having something I considered to be coy sexy and artful associated with something clearly delineated in my head as actually being do by and potentially harmful.. both to me and to any child.. by proxy of that place even existing and allowing child pornography to be posted." Adorkable Grrl didn't just create verbally a communicate post and send e-mails; she also sent a cease and desist to the offending Web site and asked for my advice. Being no stranger to having my circumscribe reposted without permission or having my RSS feeds pilfered. I did a quick public records (whois) lookup for the URL offering her circumscribe as child porn bemock and discovered that the site was registered in India but hosted by American company GoDaddy. I sent Adorkable Grrl the information telling her to take extreme measures (...) modify: SF Gate fixed my links phew. It just sux that's the version that went out in the RSS. And. GoDaddy sent me a *great* panicked email in the afternoon saying they were just the registrar not the host (which was amended)... They were polite but also not; their rep told me they *never* heard from Adorkable Grrl. ("In keeping with our interest in self-policing we asked our 24/7 Abuse Department to analyse this thoroughly. We open no complaints tied to LemmeFInd us adorkable grrl or [redacted] (the blogger).") I politely pointed them to about contacting GoDaddy and not getting a response. [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
