About time this be done.
Top internet companies have joined forces to publicise a hotline to report online child pornography.Internet giants AOL, Tiscali, Yahoo! and MSN are supporting the work of the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF).
Through the hotline, the IWF offers a "notice and take-down" service to police and internet service providers.
The coalition will run adverts on their websites and e-mail customers. The IWF said 12.5m people in the UK have come across online child pornography.
The chief executive of the charity, Peter Robbins, said new research showed the severity of the images, including rape and bestiality, continued to increase.
