Recliners: The idea is that since Usenet hosted some of the groups, they could use the technology on their servers to prevent the files from being uploaded to begin with or to take them down before they get downloaded.

This is similar to what YouTube is doing now.

Hope that explains it!

Fingerprint technology for Facebook? Is that even possible? Wouldn't your PC have to be enabled with the appropriate hardware or software or whatever is required?

Jeremy: You and me both. I really though Usenet was just a realm for Uber nerds and old guys who remember the "good old days" of the Web. Looks like I was wrong.

Mr. J: I haven't heard of this taking place. In fact, YouTube has been pretty clear that their technology doesn't have such capability. According to them, they can't even use it to distinguish between porn and other types of content or detect copyrighted material that has not been submitted. It seems unlikely that they have the capability to read faces.

I could be wrong though, have you seen an article on that?

I've heard that websites such as Youtube and Myspace are using fingerprint technology or something similar to confirm people's identities, and maybe even keep the information on record. Isn't that an invasion of privacy?

I can't believe Usenet is even around still. I would have thought it'd die off after porn and warez became easier to access.
