five days ago...

fr. john Jenkins, the president of notre dame university,
rejected a petition presented by a bloc of students last october
to filter/censor "pornographic" content
from the university networks and wi-fi.

the decision was highly anticipated
by religious groups,
anti pornography networks,
children's internet safety groups
and free academic speech advocates...

safe(d) space
or open space?

to what extent should an academic environment,
predominately one filled with "under aged" students
be...
regulated from browsing places.... such as
this one?

Given that it is an academic institution I could see them blocking access to explicit sites through their computers on campus. That would just be a safe decision so someone doesn't go see something or download something and then later it comes back on the university.
 
amazing that this issue
raises so few hackles
on a board that purports to be
on a line that would seem to...
straddle the issue.

have instead at your pro forma ad hominem infinitum
 
so this is why god burned down notre dame cathedral! it was an honest mistake, he's old.
 
This is the first I’ve heard of it. What do you consider underage, because I always think anything over 18, but maybe 21 is the new 18. It’s their wifi... I guess they can do what they want with it?

Is this a new concept for all universities and locking down the free speech or is this more of a stance for a catholic U?

That is the issue, as well as the inmates running the asylum.

At Notre Dame the students want to bare what they consider 'pornographic' content. At other Univ. other content is being banned. Twitter and FB are doing their part as well.

Everybody has their own notion as to what is offensive so exactly WHO gets to decide?

The university? It’s their gig.

Just movin the lines.

Yes, and in this case I believe they decided correctly. The right of free speech carries with it the risk of being offended and/or offensive. And a Univ. of all places should be a where ideas, no matter how offensive the individual may think them, are open for free exchange and debate. Once one voice is silenced where does it all end?

Just went thru a scenario this week with a college. Does said student prefer a room dorm with the same gender? What. The. Fuck?

What could possibly go wrong??

The entire concept of co-ed dorms seems like a horrible idea, let alone coed rooms.

Toilets. Showers. Dorms. Holy crap she won’t even go in the same bathroom as the brother because sometimes he misses the toilet.

That's a long leap from freedom of speech. Who thinks up this shit? Lecherous professors?
 
The priests won't stand for it. It's hard enough to get a good priest these days. Booze, pot, food and porn are the Lord's gift for celibacy.
 
Whoever pays for the wi-fi can make the rules. Porn consumers can use their cellular data.

There were five of us brothers to two sisters. With the addition of three bedrooms and a bath the girls had their own bathroom. I had to explain to my mom that yes we get the idea that you point your penis to the middle of the toilet but that doesn't mean the stream is going to cooperate every time. The things they don't teach in nursing school.

It wasn't like it was something that she was having to clean up. From the time we were young, kids cleaned the kids bathrooms.

Why should the provider of a utility care what you do with it?

Should they use their own portable generator power their DVD/tv and to charge up vibrators and their porn phone? Should phone-sex be strictly forbidden on provided land lines? Is shower fapping off-limits if unlimited hot water is included?

In order to censor a connection at some point someone has to decide which sites specifically are okay and which are not. In doing so there has to be an ongoing process where you violate your users privacy in order to gather information about how they're using it and to make judgment calls on whether that's acceptable or not. To you.

So yes, the Friar made the right call. Possibly for reasons that Ann suggested.
 
I know...I digressed.

Forgive me Papi Chulo!

LMAO

When I was 18 I would have jumped at the chance to share a 'barracks' with a gaggle of nubile young women. But if nothing else age has granted me a modicum of wisdom and I'd run from an offer like that as fast as I could.

Hm... why should the provider of health insurance decide which birth control method a person qualifies for?
