A New Effort to Block Child Pornography

NYTimes reports that three internet providers, Verizon, Sprint and Time Warner, will block access to Internet bulletin boards and Web sites nationwide that disseminate child pornography.

The move is part of a groundbreaking agreement with the New York attorney general, Andrew M. Cuomo, that will be formally announced on Tuesday as a significant step by leading companies to curtail access to child pornography.
