New York Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo has recruited AT&T, and
AOL to help stop child pornography. Both companies
have agreed to eliminate access to related Newsgroups, a major supplier
of these illegal images. They will also
purge their servers of child pornography websites.
Similar agreements were made with Verizon, Sprint, and Time Warner Cable
announced by Cuomo last month.
Cuomo also unveiled a new website,
www.nystopchildporn.com, dedicated to fighting online child pornography. The website provides details on which
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have signed agreements with the Attorney
General's office to eradicate access to child porn on their servers. It also provides consumers with information
on how to contact ISPs that have failed to make the same commitment to stop
child porn. Cuomo urged consumers across
the state to check whether their Internet Service Providers have signed the
code of conduct and to demand that they do so if they have not.
Cuomo continued, "I commend AT&T and AOL
for working with my office to aggressively purge child pornography from the
Internet, and I encourage consumers across New York State and the nation to
visit my website www.nystopchildporn.com to make sure their Internet Service
Providers are also taking every step they can to eradicate this appalling
trade."
