It's a bust! GALLERY SUBMITTING = 2257 NON-COMPLIANCE & WORSE??

I've wondered about this lately.....


You go to your favorite large TGP... no warning page.

Ok, fine.

Now you submit your galleries...

Some galleries I have seen have 2257, but most don't.

And (afaik) NO GALLERIES have a warning page stating age requirements. I mean they can't of course - it would be against submission rules or something and would ruin the flow of the TGP.


So check it out...

You have now knowingly submitted your (hardcore & uncensored?) galleries to be displayed on TGP's that makes no efffort to warn minors that pornographic material are ahead... AND there is no USC 2257 compliance statement/link on your actual galleries.

And then when they click through... where are you sending them? To the warning page? Whats the point? You already showed them hardcore teasers on a gallery BEFORE The warning.



Beware folks... the DOJ is out there, making a list & checking it twice... gonna find if your salad tossing skills are nice.



Here are a couple suggestions for the paranoid:


- Deal only with TGP's that have a warning page compatible with US laws, regardless of the country they are in (if they want your US business anyway).

- Use mod_rehahahahaha rules to only allow access to your main/root gallery folder from TGP's that are on your approved list (TGP's that have warning pages).

This will help prevent TGP spiders or Joe Whoever from linking to your galleries and putting them on their own TGP's that may not be compliant with your new (paranoid) policies.

You could pop up a nice message stating that you don't mind them linking to them, but they need to get on your approved list first.




Anwyay... this thread is just a Warning folks.
You have seen the recent headlines that the DOJ & all have guys *right now* out there surfing porn and finding sites that are not compliant.
