Dear Customer,

 Thank you very much for using SpinNet.

 Child Pornography, which abuses children's human rights, has been a social problem in Japan and abroad these days.

 We will take measures to block access to websites containing pornographic images of children through SpinNet as of today, using a blocked address list made by the Internet Content Safety Association (ICSA) in order to protect children from the damage caused by spreading the contents through the Internet.

We will change the SpinNet Service Agreement as a result of carrying out these measures.
We apologize for any inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
