Good one, Bob. ----- WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Online pornographers should be required to use encryption, said Rep. Bob Goodlatte, (R, Va.) Tuesday at the Internet Online Summit: Focus on Children conference held here. "That would certainly keep it away from children," said Goodlatte. "I'm not advocating encryption to let pornography flourish." Goodlatte, a champion of loosening encryption legislation, has sponsored legislation to allow the export of encryption products and another bill in the intellectual property arena, as well as another bill increasing liability for those found guilty of running Internet gambling operations. Goodlatte was the afternoon speaker in place of Newt Gingrich, speaker of the House, who couldn't attend. In addition, Attorney General Janet Reno postponed her appearance until Wednesday morning at 10:30. Goodlatte took the opportunity to speak of the Clinton adminstration's policy on encryption. "The Clinton administration's current encryption policies are a severe hinderance on the development of the full potential of the Internet," he said. He also said the House Judiciary Committee will begin a review of the Clinton administration's enforcement of laws on obscenity. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
