The Internet service provider associations "Zero Tolerance Policy" is an agreement from Internet service provider associations to aggressively cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating child pornography incidences on the Internet.

The "Zero Tolerance Policy" has been endorsed by Interactive Services Association (ISA), the Commercial Internet eXchange Association (CIX), and others.

"I am pleased that the leading Internet service provider associations are announcing a new agreement to cooperate with law enforcement authorities on a zero-tolerance policy against child pornography... I really want to congratulate these providers for stepping forward in this fashion." Vice President Al Gore

"Extending an olive branch to the Justice Department, which supported the Communications Decency Act, several large Internet service providers have promised to assist law enforcement personnel who are investigating crimes against children... Many Internet providers previously had been unwilling to block access to... sites that featured child pornography, citing free speech grounds."
The Washington Post, 12/1/97
