Senators Triple Fines For ISPs Ignoring Child Porn

A new bill approved by a U.S. Senate committee today triples the fines for ISPs that ISPs that do not alert authorities when they find child pornography on their servers.

The Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act, which the Senate Commerce Committee cleared by a unanimous voice vote on Thursday afternoon, would triple the fines for failure to comply with the current law--rising to up to $150,000 for the first offense and up to $300,000 for each subsequent violation.
