EU lawmakers approve crackdown on Internet violence

Cyber-bullying and child pornography will be targeted in a 55 million euro ($70.9 million) scheme agreed by European Union lawmakers on Wednesday. The European Commission's "Safer Internet" proposal from 2009 to 2013 aims to improve safety for children surfing the Internet, promote public awareness and create national centers for reporting illegal online content. European politicians are under increasing pressure to prevent the Internet becoming a haven for crime.
