Congress is in recess for Memorial Day until next Monday. If you're looking for something to -- shall we say -- spice up what is likely to be a slow week on the tech policy front, we call your attention to a Thursday morning press conference featuring adult film performer/writer Stormy Daniels -- just in time for National Internet Safety Month.
The session at the National Press Club features a joint appearance between the odd couple of Daniels and Joan Irvine of the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection. The latter group was created more than a decade ago with the goal of eliminating child pornography from the Internet and to help parents prevent children from viewing "age-inappropriate" material online.
The press conference appears to be the latest move in a campaign launched two months ago, in which Daniels -- whose work is produced by an entity called Wicked Pictures -- appears in a public service announcement sponsored by ASACP, promoting a "restricted to adults" label on applicable Web sites and encouraging parents to use filtering software. The PSA can be viewed above.
