[Foundation-l] Legal requirements for sexual content -- help, please!

[Andreas Kolbe]

I guess people the world over know that at least one member of the board has been quite active in the selection process of late. ;)

Also, in cases of illegal content, the Foundation may well find -- or have found -- itself in a position to direct that material be deleted, thus playing an active role in the selection of what material to present. And the Board has released statements on policy in this regard.
