[governance] Public policy issues - questions...

[Jacqueline Morris]

Given that pornography is legal in many places, I would suggest that
it fall under para 64 in general, and para 61 for places where it is
illegal. Basically, we can't put something that is not a crime under
cybercrime. Pornography is a complex public policy issue, and is very
closely linked to cultural mores. Even the feminist world is divided
on the issue. Similarly, the YC's para on internet gambling is a
difficult thing to place, as it is legal in some places and illegal in
others.
My take on it is that with regard to cybercrime, we should aim for
language that pushes coordination and joint activities, dealing with
things that are officially crimes. If a country or a group has moral,
ethical and cultural issues with something, then it is up to them to
go through the relevant process to make it a crime, then it can fall
under the cybercrime para. However, we shoudn't start listing issues
as crimes - one person's crime is another's freedom of expression.
