Digital Sex can be Disturbing

Today Linden Lab announced more concrete plans for separating out adult content from the rest of Second Life. Originally discussed last month, the plans began by soliciting community feedback for definitions of adult content and, eventually, filtering that out of search results and locating it on a separate virtual continent from most of Second Life's activities. The specific plans now include definitions of PG, Mature, and Adult content for ratings and preferences, a more rigorous age verification system, either through payment information or the Aristotle system added in 2007, and the launch of a new viewer with more controls.
