Youth, Pornography, and the Internet, a new National Research
Council report requested by Congress in PL 105-314, examines whether
technologies such as content filters and age-verification programs
actually shield children from exposure to online pornography. In addition,
the report looks at the effectiveness of parents' and teachers' efforts to
teach children how to use the Internet responsibly and cope with any
inappropriate material they may encounter.

congressional staff only. The report was publicly released on May 2, 2002
and is available online, in its entirety, through the National Academy
Press Web site.
