Taking part in this task force on child safety online (called the Safety Technical Task Force) are AOL, AT&T, Comcast, Facebook, Google, the Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI), Second Life's Linden Lab, Microsoft, Symantec, Verizon and Yahoo. Running the task force is the Harvard Law School's Berkman Center for Internet & Society. Berkman Executive Director John Palfrey said "The safety concerns posed by the Internet are part and parcel of the safety concerns that arise in human interactions in the physical world. These concerns are not unique to any one service or technology platform; they are shared by the companies that provide Internet services and the individuals who use these services."
