When the U.S. Senate passed Jim Exon’s net.censorship bill, the journalist Brock Meeks wrote a lead for the ages: “U.S. Capitol, Senate Gallery—It’s all over. Fuck it.” But what happens if net.censors prevail someday on the House side, too (if they haven’t already), and you can’t use the F word? Netfolks have a solution: _Just substitute the last name of the senior senator from Nebraska._ Enemies and lovers can then say, “Exon,” to each other. That’s obvious. But the gifted trolls at Bianca’s Smut Shack, spreading a post from the mythical “Ezra Pound Is Innocent Committee,” have actually promoted a whole new lexicon in honor of Exon and allies. For example: Byrd: (noun) The posterior or hinderparts, specifically the anus. Coats: (noun) Excrement, or as a verb to excrete. Exon: (verb) To copulate with, the act of copulation. Gorton: (noun) The female genitals, or specifically the vagina. Gramm: (verb) To orgasm. Also colloquially used as a noun. Heflin: (noun) The female secondary sexual characteristics. Helms: (noun) The male phallus. Specter: (noun) The clitoris. However, a borderless Internet can also hinder the censorship crowd. If American bluenoses such as Exon tried to restrict an electronic _Tropic of Cancer_, for example, a U.S. publisher just might set up shop in countries with less infantile politicians. People in the States could then dial up the computer overseas. Already the Net has made fools of martinets in the Canadian government. Ottawa tried to squelch newspaper accounts of a murder, claiming that the coverage would preclude a fair trial. So people in the States sent electronic care packages to their Canadian friends—articles from U.S. papers. Canadian officials banned a pulped-wood issue of _Wired_ for attacking their stupidity; that was one of the biggest debacles of all, given the ease of dialing up electronic versions of the magazine, one of the planet’s most plugged-in publications. Consider, too, the ramifications of anonymous servers, which strip names and other identifiers from messages, allowing Netfolks to circumvent legal bullying by governments and others. In 1995, the Church of Scientology in Los Angeles got Finnish police to raid a server in Helsinki that was posting anonymous exposés of this rather litigious organization. The server survived. But the cops forced Johan Helsingius, operator of the server, to reveal the name of a Church enemy who originated the messages. “Now users fear their secrets are at risk,” _Time_ said of people using his computer service. Case closed on anonymous servers? Hardly.
