LOS ANGELES – Broadband and telecommunications giant Verizon is under fire for defending its decision to provide hard-core porn titles with child and incest themes. The company was included in the 2014 Dirty Dozen List of pornography’s leading facilitators, compiled by Morality in Media (MIM), a national organization that opposes pornography.
According to MIM, lewd titles like “I Banged My Stepdad,” “Mom, Daughter and Me,” and “Pigtail Teens Pounded” are just some of the many offerings featured on Verizon’s FIOS video on-demand service. In a letter to MIM, Verizon’s Associate Director for Advertising and Content Standards John P. Artney defended the company’s choice to provide the content, noting that “consumers today have extraordinary choice in and control over the content available to them across these networks.”
“The explosion in choice is a tremendous benefit to consumers, but not all consumers want to have access to all content for themselves and their families all of the time,” wrote Artney. “Not all content is desirable to or appropriate for all consumers, however, and Verizon is proud to provide our customers with myriad tools to control the types of content that they and their families have access to through our service.”

Who makes decisions like this???
Is this illegal?
Is anything illegal these days?
Well if they are having sze with children isn’t that illegal if not how come that football coach Sandusky is in trouble?
As long as they don’t use children I believe its legal. So they can get a young looking 18yr old, put her in pigtails and make their movies.
Do you mean these are to look at on a Verizon phone? Or is it on something else? I don’t know all the items Verizon makes. It is a Verizon notepad if they make one of those? Don’t have their phone, have AT&T.
I can’t believe this. How could they make that response? We are becoming everything as a society that we’ve been criticized for being.
I think the anti-pornography laws are like the laws in defense of marriage, or the laws protecting the unborn . . . or, for that matter, the Affordable Care Act. The only laws that really matter now are those the elites care to enforce, like the one that forbids Christians from owning bakeries and hobby stores.
When’s the bestiality going to arrive?
this what happens when people worship sex and $$.
They can title a film, “Little boys & girls banging”, as long as they don’t actually use under age kids in it.
Amoral cretins.
When the dogs’ and cats’ unions are recognized? (They make no bones, but they fish for benefits?)
Seriously, what would they think of someone going blackface and then performing porn? Oy vey the anti-racists would be ALL over them.
Yet when they do it about kids, which supposedly the whole village ought to care about... it’s carry on pervs!
This is a recipe for chaos.
If they are happy to provide gay porn, then there is nothing to stop them from offering this.
Lots of lust. No love.
I would bet they have that, too, but I’m not gonna look!
Depends on your opinion of what illegal is. Kinda like Slick Willie’s IS thing.
