A new bill will triple fines for Internet Service Providers who knowingly fail to report child pornography on their service and expand the reporting requirements to cover all communications providers

December 5th, the United States House of Representatives almost unanimously approved the SAFE (Securing Adolescents From Exploitation Online) Act of 2007.   The SAFE Act will increase fines for failing to report illegal images to $150,000 per image per day for the first offense. Repeat offenders face $300,000-per-day fines.
