Three major US internet provides have agreed to block access to websites and online discussion groups featuring child pornography, New York state attorney general said.
“The pervasiveness of child pornography on the internet is horrific and it needs to be stopped,” Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said in a statement on the agreement with Verizon, Sprint and Time Warner Cable.
Verizon, with 8.2 million users, and Time Warner, with 7.9 million, are among the five largest internet provides in the world. Sprint is one of the three biggest mobile phone companies.
If this is true, proxy sites will once again be hot commodity as users might be able to use proxy servers to access to certain blocked sites.
