The Atlanticin alkuperäisen, englanninkielisen jutun voit lukea tästä linkistä. On olemassa sanonta – tai ehkä itsestäänselvyys – että minkä tahansa uuden teknologian arvo piilee sen kyvyssä tuottaa pornografiaa. Kauan sitten oli aika kun pornoa löytyi vain yksityiskokoelmista: karkeita patsaita ja piirroksia, joiden vaikutus ulottui vain niin pitkälle kuin ne voitiin fyysisesti kantaa. Mutta näin alkeellinen elämä ei kelvannut ihmiselle.

Just when you think you’ll never laugh again, Columbia University students pick up a new cause: free speech. Who among us wants to step on the punch line by asking questions?

These are US tanks arriving in DC for Trump’s military parade next week. Does anybody else get commie vibes from this military parade idea? I don’t recall a military parade in any country that is secure in its military capabilities. https://t.co/blSPqu4Ue1

In the past there was a heavily policed gender binary and no one crossed it. Ever.
