Congressional Hearing: Protecting Children on the Internet

Congressional Hearing: Protecting Children on the Internet
From press release:

Commerce Committee Chairman Daniel K. Inouye (D-Hawaii) issued the following statement today at a Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation hearing titled Protecting Children on the Internet.
...
“While filtering and monitoring technologies help parents to screen out offensive content and to monitor their child’s online activities, the use of these technologies is far from universal and may not be fool-proof in keeping kids away from adult material.

“In that context, we must evaluate our current efforts to combat child pornography and consider what further measures may be needed to stop the spread of such illegal material over high-speed broadband connections.

Testimonies:
+ Miss America 2007 Lauren Nelson
+ Dr. David Finkelhor
Director, Crimes Against Children Research Center, Horton Social Sciences Center, University of New Hampshire
+ Mr. Ernie Allen
President and Chief Executive Officer, National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
+ Mr. Lan W. Neugent
