In my cruising about the internet, I have noticed a few things that may or may not signal a trend.

With the crimes against teens gaining front page attention now, I'd presently consider it unwise to be posting anything depicting any illegal activity. Well, I don't think that has been a particular problem on BC, though I think I have seen some activity from posters who I think may have done some pretty extreme work on other sites.

Over on ASSTR, a site I go to once in a while to feed my dark insanity, I have noticed some of the rougher stuff, which I didn't pay much attention to becoming sort of inaccessable, perhaps.

I was recently looking for some stories from an author who had done some well written but mostly benign Bondage stories, and noticed that his sites appear to be down.

I don't object to the prosecution and posible dismemberment of people who abuse others nonconsensually, especially those who are defenseless, I just hope that this little "clean up" gets the right people with out destroying those who harm no one.

The other thing I have noticed is the sudden availability of videos about everyday life in very conservative Muslim countries. Can it be that they are trying to clean up their public image?
