Here's the Terms of Service update from Verizon: quote: 1. Reporting of Actual or Potential Violations of Child Pornography Laws. We have added language to our Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) making clear that the Service cannot be used in any fashion for the transmission or dissemination of images containing child pornography. In addition, in Section 5, Privacy Policy; Legal Compliance, we have added language making clear that (a) we are required by law to report any facts or circumstances reported to us or which we discover from which it appears there may be a violation of the child pornography laws; and (b) that we reserve the right to report any such information, including the identity of users, account information, images and other facts to law enforcement personnel.
(The "1" is because this was just point one of five in the message, the others relating to billing, etc.) Nothing about blocking here, nor anything else proactive. -- 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 |

| Well, I take it back -- I've just read on 0.verizon.announce that Verizon is planning to drop the alt.* hierarchy, just like Sprint. This is shocking overkill... although it will certainly spare them a lot of resources. -- 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 |
