OLPC Used to Browse Porn

youthoftoday writes "The OLPC project to bring the internet to third world has worked well — too well, it seems. Yahoo reports that Nigerian Children are already using the OLPC to browse for porn." This is why as kids we couldn't look at National Geographic issues without being supervised. A rep from OLPC said, understandably, that the laptops would now be fitted with filters.

Then it is true

[Broken scope]

We have finally brought the joys of the internet to those less fortunate.

Yeah right

[HalAtWork]

I really can't take the story's word for it without photographic evidence.

It's only fair...

[Anonymous Coward]

Americans looked at naked Africans as kids, so African kids should be able to look at naked Americans now.

Fry: It's immense.

Leela: It's got every piece of information anyone could ever want.

[Fry sees the porn sites.]

Fry: So I see!

[He flies down to the porn sites and Bender and Hermes follow him.]

Zoidberg: What? What's going on here?

[He sees a sign advertising "Sardine-on-Mackerel Action", warbles and flies towards it.]

Why don't OLPC do the decent thing and set goatse as the browser homepage?

Re:In other news

[larry bagina]

better yet, point them to goatse and tubgirl.

Porn is inevitable

[Shabbs]

No matter where you go on the 'net, chances are you're going to hit some kind of porn sooner or later whether you meant to or not. Since these were originally destined for children, I'm surprised they did NOT come equipped with filters from the start. A big oversight for sure.

OLPC Project: "Here children, I give you THE INTERNET... totally unfiltered. Enjoy."

[5 minutes later...]

Children: "What is Goatse?"

Sigh...

Get those filters on!

in other news...

[teknikl]

latex balloon sales to Nigeria skyrocket overnight!

Time to end the OLPC project then

[maynard]

I mean - think of the children!!!

Re:It's only fair...

[Calydor]

So the OLPC is a torture instrument?

Good!

I'd rather those Nigerian children would browse porn instead of sending out 419 emails.

Hello, this is MR. JOE EBOH, the Chariman of the "Pamela Anderson Association of Nigeria." It has been brought to my attention through an official at the NIGERIAN NATIONAL BANK that there are funds in excess of $3,000,000 THREE MILLION DOLLARS and 15 DVDs protraying Ms. Anderson in an account in our name, that cannot be released without your help.

Re:Then it is true

[Tribbin]

Yes we HAD brought the joys of the internet to the less fortunate.
It's not fair.
These fortunate black males will now also see ads for penis enlargers. We will never be able to catch up with them... ever.

The Internets Is Like A Bunch Of Tubes

[NeverVotedBush]

Turgid, erect, throbbing, tubes...

I guess old Senator what's his name was right, eh kiddies? ;-)

Re:They are not allowed to.

[gEvil (beta)]

That is, on the black women, on the white women their brests were digitally obscured.

So whose fingers were being used to cover the breasts?

The end of 419 scams?

[Joce640k]

Maybe they'll chill out watching porn and stop sending all those email scams.

Re:Then it is true

[zlamma]

Duuh... Anybody remembers what OLPC stood for? One Lapdance Per Child or something...

Filtering non-porn can be good ...

[AHumbleOpinion]

If they truly only blocked porn, then maybe it would be a matter of discussion, but certain filters' habit of censoring all sorts of irrelevant contents, political and otherwise really makes porn the lesser of the two evils.

Blocking US Football Superbowls XXX through XXXIX and the movies "xXx" and "XXX: State of the Union" are hardly evils, and probably goods.

Request for urgent business relationship

[QuasiEvil]

Hello honest /. reader, I hope this finds you in good health. My late father was a wealthy 419 scammer, but when he passed away the government seized his assets, including some $5 million USD in cash and his collection of OLPCs that were used to run the scam. Since everything was seized, including my inheritance, I cannot afford the small processing fee that I need to get his assets out of the country. I need your help so that I may continue his profitable venture. If you could send a small (say, $50,000) processing fee, we would be able to liberate his wealth and computers, and you will be rewarded well for your assistance.

In addition, the batch of OLPCs he had acquired for sending scam spam is now being used to show children online pornography. We must get them back to legitimate uses such as spamming - think of the children!

Please write me back immediately so that we might begin this critical work.

Thank you. I'm going to be rich now.

That just gave me an idea that will make me richer than Bill Gates and cure the energy crisis at the same time.

I'll build a device that goes on a man's cock and generates electricity by an up and down motion.

[dotancohen]

As Henry Ford hath said: You can see whatever type of breasts that you like, so long as you like black.

Re:Then it is true

[aastanna]

Doesn't everyone know that the internet is for porn? [google.com]

Is it in yet?

[Anonymous Coward]

There's all sorts of porn out there, and a good deal of it presents unrealistic scenarios out of context. Particularly those that deal with how women should be treated.

While I can appreciate the chick angle (you get a lot of tail with the good cop routine), I am much more concerned with the fact that porn teaches women that sex should last longer than two minutes and penetration can be perceived by a woman absent verbal confirmation.

OPPS

[AmberBlackCat]

Maybe we can come up with the One Penis Per Slashdotter program to fix that problem. Maybe it will run Linux. Maybe these things will end up as our new overlords. Maybe they'll get shut down after people realize they're being used for porn. I can't go on.
