Sukgu's Comment - Easy accesibility of children to harmful contents has been the main issue since internet became so prevailed tool. As a father of 6 year old boy, I have the same concern about internet use. My son already know how to interact with internet. Some day later, when he will get the curiosity about sexual matters, these kinds of distorted contents will bring him wrong idea about relationship between different genders. I know that it's very difficult to prevent these kinds of accesibility. However, government and internet related companies should do something that minimizes the side-effects.


The agreements follow an undercover investigation of child porn newsgroups. Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said in a prepared statement that his investigation of other service providers is continuing. He has used similar probes and the possibility of civil or criminal charges to extract concessions on Internet safety in the past.
