IMO, this quote speaks volumes about the situation:

"What Time Warner Cable will do, Dudley said, is remove illegal content
on its network when alerted by the National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children."

Aside from the expectation that they might remove "illegal content" if
_anyone_ alerted them to it, one is left to wonder how much more porn,
kiddie or otherwise, is on the 'net versus USENET.

Between the content alert-and-remove scheme and canceling USENET, it
appears Time Warner Cable will stamp out something...sometime after
Hillary and Teddy win Prez-Veep of the US...while running as
Republicans...with campaign material printed solely in Spanish.... while
promising to triple taxes on those making under 100K...and repeal Roe v
Wade... and calling for the banning not only hunting guns, but hunting
licenses as well...and kicking off their campaign by converting to Islam
and then apostating....

And while I can't say for certain as I've never looked for kiddie porn
on USENET or anywhere else, have no intention of doing so, and do not
claim knowledge of it or its POS fans, I'd wonder how non-binary groups
are sources of porn, kiddie or otherwise...and on top of that, I'd offer
that few would attempt to get illegal-to-possess material from the
apparent 88 known kiddie porn binary groups via Time Warner because
logging on to the news server would create a "paper trail" - probably a
similar number of folks attempt to buy kiddie porn at police stations
each year...

Frankly, I blame Al Gore...if he hadn't invented the Internet, "illegal
content" wouldn't exist...

Sheesh,
