WAPVA questions the government on Net Porn

John Goverde sent a letter to the Honourable Ann McLellan, Attorney General regarding WAPVA's concerns about the policing of Porn and other questionable content on the Internet. "We must look at our laws and make changes." Goverde wrote. "Computers, [the] Internet, and Cyberspace is the way everything is going and that is progress but it must be controlled and not ruin the minds of innocent children."

McLellan responded, "Like you, I am very concerned about pornographic materials depicting harmful and degrading acts. Perhaps most alarming is the evidence that links dehumanizing pornography with violence towards women." The Attorney General then outlined what the government has and will implement to combat the problem and included a link to Stop Child Pornography. McLellan closed by saying, "I can assure you that this government will continue to take the necessary steps ... to curb the flow of pornography."
