Dear Sir / Madam
Pornographic Material on the Internet
Further to the seminar held at New Scotland Yard on 2nd August I
enclose, as promised by Superintendent Mike Hoskins, a list of
those Newsgroups which we believe contain pornographic material.
We have attempted to confirm that the Newsgroups listed currently contain this offensive material but as you will be only too aware the content is continually changing and you will need to satisfy yourself about the nature and content before taking any action. Furthermore, this list is not exhaustive and we are looking to you to monitor your Newsgroups identifying and taking necessary action against those others found to contain such material. As you will be aware the publication of obscene articles is an offence.
This list is only the starting point and we hope, with the co-operation and assistance of the industry and your trade organisations, to be moving quickly towards the eradication of this type of Newsgroup from the Internet. At the seminar we debated the means of maintaining an up to date list and you will recall that ISPA volunteered to pool information and assist in this initiative. However, we are very anxious that all service providers should be taking positive action now, whether or not they are members of a trade association.
We trust that with your co-operation and self regulation it will not be necessary for us to move to an enforcement policy.
Yours Faithfully
Stephen French
Chief Inspector
