While reading the news today, I came across this Google deal with Brazil http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25514386/. Since I work in the technology field and maintain websites for our office, I found it interesting and encouraging that corporate America would make such a bold move as to sign an accord helping Brazil crack down on child porn.
"Google said it was the first such agreement that the company had signed and the firm believes it is the first internationally. Alexandre Hohagen, president of Google in Brazil, told a congressional committee, 'It's an historic day not only for Brazil but for the Internet in the entire world.'"
As we move into discussions about violence and sex crimes against women, Google's agreement to assist Brazil in their efforts to combat the issues of sexual crimes/abuse against children is a great first step. Hopefully, Google and other search engines will continue to monitor and assist in this effort.

For such a widely known and huge corporation like Google to make this agreement to fight child porn is a great step in securing the protection of children. If one company makes the first step, many other companies may soon follow in attempts to protect children from sex crimes. Just a few years ago people belived that no search engine or Internet company would be able to stop child porn. I truly hope for the sake of the children that Google continues to help Brazil and many other countries in their efforts.
