Attorney General Andrew Cuomo announced yesterday that two more social-networking websites
have agreed to help rid their sites of child pornography by blocking images that are in the
attorney general's database of known child porn. The addition of LiveJournal, which hosts
blogs, and Fotolog, a photo-sharing site, means that seven networking websites now use Cuomo's
database as another tool in their on going efforts to rid their sites of the images. MySpace
and Facebook, two of the most popular social networking sites, already use the database, as do
Friendster, hi5 and isoHunt. Laura Ahearn, executive director of Parents for Megan's Law
& The Crime Victim Center joined Cuomo as he described the initiative against child porn.
