Chuck Norris Backs Campaign Against Web Porn

  • 09 December 2003

Hollywood action veteran [Chuck Norris](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/chuck-norris) is launching a campaign against paedophiles and internet pornographers.

The former WALKER, TEXAS RANGER star, who has two-year-old twins with his wife GENA, is horrified by the millions of porn sites accessible to youngsters at the click of a button, and is now working with an internet firm to make a change.

He says, "We have to do something about our kids being exposed to the pornography and child predators on the internet.

"Within a few years my kids will be on the internet. I want them protected.

"More than a million sexual predators use the internet worldwide. There are 60 million pornographic spam emails every day. It's scary. When I saw the statistics, I was horrified."

Norris has signed on to serve as spokesperson, along with EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND star [Patricia Heaton](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/patricia-heaton), for a new internet filtering service called MAX.COM, which the company says will keep online porn and child stalkers away from youngsters.

The company also claims its service can filter peer-to-peer communications, emails, instant messages and chat room exchanges.

Norris adds, "The internet is a blessing and a curse - it's really good for learning, but on the other end, the degradation that goes on is terrible.

"We've got to figure out a way to prevent pornographers and sexual predators from reaching our kids on the internet. I believe that MAX.com is a big step in that direction."
