It is extremely important that children are shielded from sites in violation of the Internet Acceptable Use Policy. The children of today determine the society of tomorrow, so the kinds of things that their growing, susceptible minds are exposed to are of the utmost importance. The Net Authority willingly works in conjunction with national and international enforcement agencies to put a stop to the dissemination of offensive materials on the Internet.
Our primary initiative towards that end is the maintenance of a continually growing database of Internet offenders—websites that knowingly violate the Internet Acceptable Use Policy. We freely provide access to this database for concerned parents, interested software developers, and law-abiding Internet citizens in general. We fully understand the scope of the Internet, and that it is unlikely for us to ever hold a majority of offending sites in our database—but it is our hope that by holding these sites up as an example, we can help deter other Internet users from following similar paths and thus reduce the accumulation of offensive material on the Internet in general.
The Net Authority is an organization consisting of individuals and community leaders from all over the civilized world. We are all constantly on the look-out for new offenders to add to our database—but we can't do it alone! You too can be a part of the Net Authority and help us eliminate offensive material from the Internet. By reading and understanding the Internet Acceptable Use Policy, and our guide on how to spot offending material, you can arm yourself with all you need to do God's work on the Internet. Every offending site that is added to our database by visitors just like yourself takes us one step closer to a cleaner, better Internet for our children.

To provide a set of guidelines to which all content posted on the Internet must adhere, and to hold responsible those individuals who would knowingly break those guidelines.
Initiatives
Members of the Net Authority take many initiatives, both as individuals and as an organization, to help remove offensive content from the Internet. Community leaders from all over the civilized world have worked together to develop the Internet Acceptable Use Policy—a set of common-sense rules that should be followed by anyone intending to publish information on the Internet.
Our flagship initiative is the maintenance and publishing of our Internet offenders database. We keep track of every website in violation of the Internet Acceptable Use Policy that we can find, and provide this information, free of charge, to anyone who desires it. We do our best to keep this information current and accurate, but can only do so with your help.
What Can You Do?
We have provided a guide to help you spot websites that are in violation of the Internet Acceptable Use Policy. Read it, understand it, and actively use it when going about your daily business on the Internet. If you spot a site in violation, use the form at the end of our guide to submit it to our database. With enough law-abiding Internet citizens such as yourself on our side, our database is ensured to remain up to date and accurate.
Your best weapon in the war against this enemy is information. By allowing yourself to be informed of where offensive material is on the Internet, you can take the first steps towards protecting our youth from it. If you are a parent, block these sites from your children using one of the many commercially available filtering programs. Demand that your schools and libraries monitor our database to keep their filtering software up to date.
Talk to your children—let them know that the Internet, while being an extremely important and useful tool in today's society, also contains many dark places that may lead their souls astray from the path of God. Do not be afraid to scare them! The Internet is a scary place! Help them read and understand the Internet Acceptable Use Policy and our guide on how to spot violations. If you do your job, soon even your children may become productive members of the Net Authority community.
Check this too.
And then check out their database. Wikipedia, AOL, FoxNews, Yahoo!, and even the Salvation Army... what the hell is this?! The Salvation Army has helped more people than any church of a religion ever will!

What do I have to say?
Thou can sucketh my ****ing cock.
Who are these people to run around playing as almighty e-police that decide what material is posted on the internet?
- ...God's work on the Internet.
- ...lead their souls astray from the path of God.
- Any material that would lead one astray from the righteous path of the one true God must not be permitted on the Internet.
And what's all this bull**** about "God"? Everybody has their own religion, but please, keep it the hell away from everybody else.
No interracial relationships? If these people are Christian, then they would most likely believe of Adam and Eve, and how we all descend from them.
y do people luk different then!
It's called genetic drift, assholes.
I quoth a friend:
No hateful material? There goes 95% of religious content.
No blasphemous material? I'm not Christian; I'm not adhering to any laws that tell me I can't write or look at anything based on someone else's religion.
No material of offensive political nature? There goes the other 5% of religious content as well as 100% of any political debate.
No interracial relationships? Screw you. Love knows no true bounds. If I fall in love with someone of a different skin color as mine that doesn't mean that it's wrong. A big (^) to whoever wrote this crap.
Damn, man.
I really apologize to anybody who may be Christian and reading this -- as I don't target you, but this "Net Authority" is attempting to force their religion upon everybody else; they're committing the real crime.
I also apologize for my language. It's not often I cuss so much in my typing.
Anyways, I'd like to know everybody else's thoughts on this.
