Censorin’ UR n00dz. Check out this Google AP (!) item — my 2.0 Porn or Not? talk was the same day, sigh:

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday announced an agreement with social networking Web site Facebook to enforce safeguards against obscene content and sexual predators using the site.

The agreement calls for Facebook to respond and begin addressing complaints of nudity or pornography or unwelcome contact within 24 hours of receiving them, and to report to the complainant within 72 hours on how it will respond.

It also calls for Facebook, which has about 47 million users, to allow someone independent – and approved by Cuomo’s office – to report for two years on its compliance with the new safeguards.

“These social networking sites are attractive. We want to make sure they’re safe,” Cuomo said at a news conference. “Facebook will have the safest interactions of its kind on the Internet.”
