The Associated Press is reporting that New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is fighting the good fight, threatening to file suit against Comcast if the company will not start blocking child-porn sites. This is just another of several recent high-profile puff-pieces touting Cuomo as a pioneering champion in the national clamp-down against pedophilia online.

The only problem with this is that the companies have either already blocked, or were in the process of blocking, access to certain newsgroups and other sites where much of the illicit material is located, as our friends over at DSLReports have been pointing out ever since the AP started stroking Andrew Cuomo.
