By: OneCent.US In an avalanche of news stories and press releases on the story of the Libyan government shutting down with no warning the sexual content adult entertainment URL shortener vb.LY, named for Violet Blue, an adult content blogger, OneCent.US has decided to take the high road and implement some extensive self policing actions on its site to discourage pornography links being posted, or at least warn people. The new page starts: "BIT.LY or any other .LY Libyan Domain URL Shortener or ANY URL Shortener for that matter, if you want the code to produce a page on your own site like this, we will give you the PHP program for it, at no charge. LET us police the Internet TOGETHER ourselves before the GOVERNMENT tries to do it for us... Call Bill Purkins 24x7 at 631-624-5692..."

When someone uses our website to shorten a PORN link? We allow them the opportunity to tack on an XRated warning so THEY may omply with US law to warn and or discourage underage viewers as well as anyone whose local laws prohibit such material. If they DO NOT police themselves and we detect words or phrases in the link they shorten, WE tack it on FOR them and wash our hands of the matter. But when the Libyan government closed down VB.LY, an adult themed URL Shortener, for violating Libyan, Islamic and Sharia law... we took it seriously. And this web page was implemented the next day... It is for informational purposes only, and also a gesture of friendly respect for the Islamic relation and the local morality based laws of the nation of Libya, of of which and whom we respect.
