UK internet hosting cleans up its act.

The article reports that co-operation between the IT industry, charities and law enforcement agencies is stamping out Internet hosting of child abuse images and racist content in Great Britain. According to a report from the Internet Watch Foundation, less than one per cent of illegal images online are now hosted in Great Britain, because of concerted self-regulation by Great Britain's online industry. Alun Michael, minister for industry and the region said that in less than a decade, the amount of potentially illegal content hosted in Great Britain has declined from 18 per cent to less than one per cent. The minister hopes that it will give encouragement to other countries such as the U.S. and Russia, where the hosting of indecent content is rife.
