Why not block port 80 as well? I suspect a lot of child exploitation is done via the web browser.

Then there's email and IM. Those can be used also and should be blocked.

Heck, block everything, inbound and outbound. This way, we will make sure no one's computer gets infected with viruses either!

Virtually every avenue of the internet can be used to exploit children. Guess we should shut the whole thing down....

I've worked on child exploitation investigations in both my internship, and my current position. One things for sure, for as long as human beings wake every morning and move about, these sick bastards will find a way to do their evil (the child exploiters).

Shutting down any portion of any computer network will change that....

Other avenues don't require an ISP to either put NNTP infrastructure in place or provide access/subscriptions to third-party services - either of which is not inexpensive.
