I just haven't heard it anywhere, and when I checked the other day, Google news and Fark had nothing. Though it's customary to blame everything on the person or persons you don't like, I haven't heard any speeches or anything from Bush about this, and I think that it'd be pretty important news ... Also, congress has the power to legislate ... not Bush's administration ... so I don't really see the connection to Bush's cabinet.
I just did another quick Google News search for:
Bush porn ban
Bush porn restriction
Bush porn limit
Bush porn limitation
Nothing related to this came up.
For "Porn Content Regulations," two articles came up, one from RedHerring and the other from P2Pnet, neither attached this to the Bush administration, though, P2PNet thought that it gained popularity because former Attorney General John Ashcroft was against internet pornography. It's an update to the 1988 Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act, passed before the internet, and internet pornography, was in wide-spread use. The websites can still display what they want, but they have to keep records of those who they have ... which they should be doing anyway. State gov't can ask specific websites for proof of specific actors and actresses, and if they don't turn that over, then they have to remove that content. Doesn't seem like that big a deal to me ... and it's probably more likely that Gay.com was trying to make a political statement, rather than actually having federal or state heat to remove their pictures... because it takes longer than 5 days for a new regulations to go into effect (the date the regulations were passed, compared to the date of this thread).
