14 DAY TRIAL // Pedophilia has always been a problem and, even if authorities from all over the world struggled to eradicate this phenomenon. As you may have heard, there were several arrests around the world after long investigations which took from a few months to multiple years. Because pedophilia is still an important problem, the Internet Watch Foundation, an UK organization, has called for support from international organizations in order to block the websites promoting child abuse material.
According to The Register, there were identified no less than 2,755 websites around the world related to pedophilia. Because the pages were located outside the United Kingdom but sometimes the material published on them may arrive in the country, IWF required international support to fight against these illegal websites.
At first look, it may sound impossible to block all these pages because such an alliance would require the cooperation of ISPs, the country's government, judges and other organizations which fight for the same cause. Sure, it's not impossible and even if there's a lot of work, it is worth giving a try.
"We believe that speculative figures can create a distorted picture of the scale of the problem of child sexual abuse websites. This year we have highlighted what we believe is a manageable number worldwide of such websites, known to us. A coordinated global attack on these websites could get these horrific images removed from the web and those responsible investigated," IWF chief executive Peter Robbins said according to The Register.
Although the pedophilia-related websites have already been identified, child abusers are also hidden on many other webpages populated by teenagers and young users. Take for instance, social networks, today's revolutionary industry which attracts thousands of viewers every day. It was proved that lots of members registered on these websites are actually pedophiles who are actually interested in getting pornographic material from younger users.
