Italy's anti-child-porn law

The new law in Italy, which goes into effect almost immediately, will require Internet service providers to "block child pornography Web sites within six hours of being told to do so," Reuters reports. The wire service adds that "Italy's penal code includes severe punishment for the distribution and publication of child pornography." Maybe Italy's ISPs will use an anti-child-porn filter like the "Cleanfeed" service used by BT, the UK's largest ISP, which announced last February that it was blocking 35,000 attempts to view child-porn Web pages a day (see this item). Here's an analysis of Cleanfeed in its early days in The Register.
