         academies

Dave --

Given the IP readership interest in such matters, i'm pleased to say that the
National Academies' report entitled "Youth, Pornography and the Internet" was
released on May 2.  The report examines approaches to protecting children and
teens from Internet pornography, threats from sexual predators operating
on-line, and other inappropriate material on the Internet. It discusses social
and educational strategies, technological tools, and policy options for how to
teach children to make safe and appropriate decisions about what they see and
experience on the Internet. Chaired by former Attorney General Dick Thornburgh,
it's the most comprehensive study yet on the topic.

More information on the report is available at:

The report itself is available online at:

If you are interested in a briefing on or discussions about the report, please
contact the study director, Herb Lin, at 202-334-3191.
