It seems the U. S. legislators are not satisfied with the present laws against child pornography; they want stricter laws. On Thursday, a U. S. Senator and a U. S. 

Congressman officially unveiled two bills that call for Internet service providers to keep record about every user of their services and store the data for at least two years. The two bills, under the same title "the Internet Stopping Adults Facilitating the Exploitation of Today's Youth (SAFETY) Act of 2009" were proposed by Rep. Lamar Smith 

(R-Texas) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas). Smith introduced the bill as H. R. 1076 in the House and Cornyn introduced the bill as S. 436. in the Senate.

Scripted in the same language, the two bills articulates, "A provider of an electronic communication service or remote computing service shall retain for a period of at least two years all records or other information pertaining to the identity of a user of a temporarily assigned network address the service assigns to that user."

According to Smith and Cornyn, if the two bills become law, it will benefit the police; it will help the authorities to crack down on Internet-based predators and child pornographers. 

In a statement on posted his Web site, Smith, "Of the nearly 600,000 images of graphic child pornography found online and reported to law enforcement officials, only 2,100 of these children have been identified and rescued... Investigators need the assistance of Internet Service Providers to identify users and distributors of online child pornography."

In his statement, Cornyn wrote, "While the Internet has generated many positive changes in the way we communicate and do business, its limitless nature offers anonymity that has opened the door to criminals looking to harm innocent children. Keeping our children safe requires cooperation on the local, state, federal and family level."
