Thursday, September 11th, 2008

Daytona Beach, Florida Three of the biggest Internet services, Sprint, Verizon and Time Warner said on Tuesday that they are planning to block children porn websites and newsgroups when an undercover investigation revealed several explicit cases of child sex over the web.

The investigation was conducted by the office of the state attorney of New York. During a news conference, the three service providers announced that they are planning to give over $1 million to combat the spread of child porn. Keeping in view the challenges stopping child porn will be facing, Andrew Cuomo, the Attorney General, said that they are shifting their strategy for the purpose. Now, rather than stopping the customers, they will aim at porn suppliers.

He said that it is not possible to stop the users because if you stop 1000 users, another 1000 will enter the scene, but it is a wise thing to stop the suppliers overall so that there is no flow of such material in the market. The senior vice-president of Time Warner, Jeffrey Zimmerman, said that they will start the blocking process by this months’ end, while the representatives of other two service providers did not give a stipulated time frame. They have signed an agreement according to which these companies will be taking down the child porn websites as soon as they will come to learn about them through investigation or complaints.

The National Centre for the Missing and Exploited Children has identified a directory of disputed websites that will receive money for being raised by the companies. The Attorney said that the newsgroups and websites can reconfigure themselves for avoiding detection but he informed that he will keep his office working on keeping the investigations on child porn active for tracking them down. AOL with more than 8 million people subscribed to it said that for the last several months, it has been itself working to block access to the child porn websites and newsgroups.
