N.Y. pushes Comcast on child-porn access
New York's attorney general notified Comcast Corp. yesterday that the state would take legal action if the company - the nation's second-largest Internet service provider - doesn't agree to eliminate access to child pornography. Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo wants major Internet access providers to agree on steps to remove certain news groups that contain child pornography and purge their servers of Web sites that contain child porn. New York has already reached such agreements with AT&T Inc., AOL, Verizon Communications Inc., Sprint Nextel Corp. and Time Warner Cable Inc. Cuomo was concerned that the agreement Comcast has signed so far would not require the most thorough reporting to law enforcement.
