I sent my letter to the Department of Justice; have you sent yours?
Here’s what I wrote:
To the U.S. Department of Justice:
I am writing, as an adult US citizen who votes, to object to the proposed revisions to Section 2257 regulations. The proposed changes would not stop child porn, but they would put legal porn performers at risk for harassment and abuse (of which they already experience more than there fair share, from the public at large), in addition to identity theft. Fundamentally, this is an unreasonable government intrusion into the lives of adults conducting legal business. No other professions require this amount of personal information to be collected and stored on a national level.
Most disturbing, to me, is that the proposed revisions would allow the Attorney General to conduct unannounced warrantless searches at will on the sites’ records, including reviewing and presumably seizing the personal information on site users. This is a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Threatening and potentially putting out of business legal adult businesses will do nothing to stop child pornographers from continuing their illegal practice. Instead of focusing time and money on persecuting legal performers, focus these resources on prosecuting actual criminals.
Sincerely,
Amber Rhea
You have until Monday, Sept. 10th to voice your opposition to these regulations. Check out the 2257 Fact Sheet (PDF) for more info.
