Internet providers Verizon, Sprint and Time Warner Cable have agreed to block access to child pornography and eliminate the material from their servers, New York's attorney general said Tuesday.
The companies also will pay $1.1 million to help fund efforts to remove the online child porn created and disseminated by users through their services, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said. The changes will affect customers nationwide.
It's about time that something is being done to stop the online child porn. It's about time that someone has shown some concearn about the exploitation of children.

Child porn is bad, that is a no brainer, but this worries me. What are they going to do to fight child porn. Inspect the data that is going through the different companies hubs? This spells of ease of access to personal information by the government, which a few senators are wanting to take a step back from the revisions to FISA and the PATRIOT act, see Sen. Feingold D-Wis. This also opens up the possiblity of monitoring the internet for other things which are not connected to child porn, and in the case of the companies could possibly make the liable if there is child porn found on their servers, government protection or no, in this society anyone can sue over anything or close to it.

I think that it is great that people are finally starting to fight back. Child porn is a bad thing and this might be a small step, but it is a step in the right direction. Its good to see that companies can unite for a good cause to end such a bad thing.
