Several media companies are banding together to create a [a href="vny!://www.nwfdailynews.com/articleArchive/jun2006/ispchildporn.php"]database of child pornography[/a] images to help law enforcement officials combat distribution of questionable material. In addition to the database several tools and new technologies are also planned but most notable is what some perceive as a willingness to cooperate which critics say has been lacking in the past.
From the article: "Each company will set its own procedures on how it uses the database, but executives say the partnership will let companies exchange their best ideas _ ultimately developing tools for preventing child-porn distribution instead of simply catching violations."
