- History Online Pornography
- 1988 "Transmitting porn across the Internet was in violation of NSF and Federal Appropriate Use Policies, but was quite popular when it uploaded, usually in a hidden location. We had to police it because we did not want to be written up about federal dollars being used to transport porn (and possibly have federal funds cut off because of it). Our international links were quite modest, and anytime they redlined, porn was often to blame." [Medin Slide 10]
