(AP)  Verizon, Sprint and Time Warner Cable have agreed with New York state officials to block access to child pornography.

Attorney General Andrew Cuomo says the Internet service providers will block child pornography newsgroups and eliminate the material from their servers.

The companies will also pay more than $1 million to help fund efforts to remove child porn from the Internet.

The agreements follow an undercover investigation of child porn newsgroups and will affect customers nationwide.

Last year, Cuomo reached agreement with the social networking sites MySpace and Facebook to toughen protections against online sexual predators.

I''m sure "judge" Alex Kozinski will be fighting for his right to view bestiality, child porn, and other perversions and will be working 24/7 behind the scenes with the rest of his ilk to stop this effort. Your courts are loaded with evildoers from alien and disgusting "cultures" and soon the U.S. will be fifth-rate, thanks to their meddling. If you want to know why the Arab world is so angry with the U.S., take a look at our lawyers and the perversions they protect. The Jewish connection is certainly prevalent. Of course, saying anything truthful about an alien group controlling our laws gets me called "Nazi" and other such terms. Merely a truthful person here, preparing for the Fourth Reich.

What a typical crude remark from a neocon--no surprise there!

By the way--Cuomo is a liberal--didn''t think this idea would come from one of the neocons did you?
