US ISPs Announce Anti-Child-Porn Agreement

Posted by timothy on from the little-timmy's-law-against-all-things-that-are-bad dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It seems that ISPs have gathered together with 45 attorney generals and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) to form an agreement to crush child pornography. What does that mean? Probably the same as it meant for RoadRunner, Sprint, AT&T and Verizon customers — the end of the newsgroups." Here's the back-patting press-release from the various parties who signed on (the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and the National Association of Attorneys General), though the actual text of the agreement does not seem to have been made public.

    LOL. Are you attempting to bash Obama there?

    Yes, there are some issues where Obama sucks ass and I'm pissed as hell, like voting for Telecom immunity and the rest of the warrantless domestic spying expansion. But any area were Obama is bad, McCain is fucking worse. Like yeah... Obama is too old and out of touch with technology... so lets have McCain for president instead.
