US ISPs Announce Anti-Child-Porn Agreement

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.

    And those that fail are now liable for carrying illegal data. Also if you download MP3s. Even from Amazon after paying.

    methinks you meant attorneys general. what is the point of /. having editors if they don't edit?

    Perhaps because National Association of Attorneys General is the correct phrase http://www.naag.org/

    You know Mr. Trash Talking Low Budget HDV Filipino Horror Movie "man", you really ought to get some mental health help.

    Your rabid attack behavior is clearly anti social.

    Are you a sociopath?

    You are clearly sexualizing innocent images, and rabidly defending your irrational behavior by attacking fellow posters.

    It sure comes off as mental illness to me, you really ought to seek help.

    He was saying he doesn't have any desire to actually have sex with them, you fucking jackass.

    No he didn't, you fucking pedophile apologist. He said he had no plans to kidnap, molest or rape them. He said he can't control the urge to have sex with them. To his pedophile mind, having sex with them is not kidnapping/molesting/raping them. After all, children want it. That's how pedophiles work.

    has one fatal flaw: most men only have sex with women able to give proper consent. There are such things as half-decent pedophiles;

    Your implication that children are able to "give proper consent" to having sex with adults is noted, pedophile apologist.

    some of my best friends on the internet fall under this category.

    You have a great taste in friends, pedophile apologist. Some of my best friends are victims of them.

    Don't ever think that just because someone is attracted to children that that makes them a scumbag.

    Don't ever think that someone who fucking admits to having sex with children is not a scumbag.

    Pity to see the droids out there modding me down for actually having the balls to point out the logical fallacies of the "child Porn" issue.

    Another one of my pet peeves: I hate when people and groups (*cough* religious groups) try to enforce their ideals upon others.

    Yet you find it quite acceptable to force your ideals on them...

    They seem keen on censoring people's minds too. Not just porn but politics. These are the new liberals of change. The idea of change means calling all your enemies right wing extremists. Since this censorship coupled with economic collapse will result in increases of crime and violence or overall anarchy in the streets these politicians will reap a whirlwind of chaos and they won't even know what happened and how they created this environment of corruption. Pyramid scams will increase, hysteria will overtake rationality and there will be some that will feel happy with this except when they lose control over the outcome of their lives. If you are in a room full of liberals and speak your mind you will be ignored or shouted down, in reality the left are no less fascist then their arch enemies of the republicans. We've had newsgroups since the beginning, these morons might as well wipe out http to "save the children" and shuttle us all onto a disney land mall like architecture for shopping and sharing our tips on goods or products for sale, what a rip off. They killed radio and tv and now they seek to wreck the internet.

    The founding fathers must have been child molesters too by these standards of free speech, we now implicate free speech as child porn. That basically sums up insanity. To think freedom means crime means war, civil war, and disaster. Why don't they just line us up and shoot us in the head and ditch us in the graves? Seems what they are aiming at, since they don't like free speech and equate it as child porn. Free speech means favoring child porn according to these geniuses. Since they are probably lying they must be planning somthing like 911 right now. Get your survival foods, ammo and guns, since Obama thinks we are all paranoid bible thumpers that are backwoods rednecks. The hatred of the south as well seems to be invasive like a diseased infection in the liberal democrats, they actually believe that people that live differnetly then themselves are stupid and if the government says so then it must be true. Dumb people make dumb laws but evil people make hell for everyone, these censorhip moves are evil, they are death star, darth vader like destructive. I don't like this child porn but I am not dumb, free speech on usenet doesn't equal child porn. These are semantic sicknesses being instituted through society. Freedom means slavery, etc. A redefining job, a twisting of language, a twisting of meaning. Laws on sex vary all over the planet and throughout all 50 states, only the muslims would rejoice at this kind of censorship, these laws belong to the taliban. Hey, they just censored all the media and we had 911, any connection between censored media and massive violence? Wake up people, wake up or they'll make more attacks. this has everything to do with power, violence and religion. Repression brings about a nazi like state of affairs. Ok liberals are you for censorship or freedom? Make up your minds because you sound worse than bible thumpers at his point. A single democrat decided to shut out free speech like a Mullah, he hate's speech doesn't that constitute "hate speech"? Can anyone answer that? Does hating speech mean you are a hate speech maker?
