Cox signs historic agreement with nation’s cable providers
Cox Communications, with offices in Rancho Santa Margarita, joins a national effort to stop child porn.
Cox Communications announced today it's taking further steps to limit the spread of child pornography online by signing on to an historic agreement among cable Internet providers. Cox is one of 18 members of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA) which will partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) to limit the distribution of child pornography.
The unprecedented, industry-wide agreement calls on cable operators to sign an agreement with NCMEC. Cox and the other cable broadband companies have agreed to use NCMEC's list of active websites identified as containing child pornography to ensure no such site is hosted on servers owned or controlled by these companies. Cox and the other ISPs will also report these incidents to NCMEC's CyberTipline for further investigation. Endorsed by the National Association of Attorneys General, this agreement covers operators that provide broadband Internet service to more than 112 million homes.
