Crack down on Child Pornography

Recently ISP’s have come under pressure especially in the US where authorities are planning on introducing tougher legislation in order for more action to be taken.

As a result a group of US providers: AOL, Yahoo, Microsoft, EarthLink and United Online have created an online data base that has signified all the images so that they can be scanned and tracked if they are being circulated.

So far $1m has already been promised by the companies for the campaign which is being run in conjunction with the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.

Pedophiles are using increasingly cutting edge technology to exploit children and spread child pronogrpahy in the criminal underworld.

Google have now also provided image recognition technology in order to help catch the criminal pedophiles producing the material.

The Google software is now being used by analysts at The National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) that are trawling through milllions of pornographic images and videos of children.

Googles new tool will enable better law enforcement, and will allow NCMEC’s systems to sort through identified files that contain such images of child pornography and automates the process of allowing the experts to match between images and videos in order to track the culprits.
