            <title>Web Safety Panel Unveils Final Report</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="computerzap.jpg" src="http://techdailydose.nationaljournal.com/computerzap.jpg" width="200" height="196" class="mt-image-right" style="float: right; margin: 0 0 20px 20px;" /></span>An Internet safety task force made up of state attorneys general offices, academics, nonprofits and high-tech and telecommunications giants -- who had been under pressure from Congress to enhance online child protection capabilities -- capped off a year's worth of work Tuesday by releasing its final report. The <a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/pubrelease/isttf">278-page document</a>, which was shared with 52 attorneys general in December, makes a number of recommendations to the Internet community and parents. </p>

<p>The key takeaway from the group, which had representation from big names like America Online, AT&T, Comcast, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Verizon and Yahoo: Attorneys general should not "endorse any one technology or set of technologies to protect minors online." State officials should continue to work collaboratively with stakeholders "to help enhance safety for minors online and reach out to some -- like those involved in mental health and social services -- who are not currently involved in helping find solutions to protect minors online."</p>

<p>According to the report, members of the Internet community, including social network sites, should continue to develop and incorporate a range of technologies as part of their strategy to protect minors from harm online. While they should consult with experts, technologists and law enforcement, they should not overly rely upon any single technology or group of technologies as the primary solution to protecting minors.</p>]]></description>
