I hope this does not occur or affect anyone posting here.

"New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo announced on Tuesday that 
Verizon Communications, Time Warner Cable, and Sprint would "shut down 
major sources of online child pornography."

What Cuomo didn't say is that his agreement with broadband providers 
means that they will broadly curb customers' access to Usenet--the 
venerable pre-Web home of some 100,000 discussion groups, only a handful 
of which contain illegal material."
