Porn Blocking Law 09/10/2004 01:18 PM
We've written before about a Pennsylvania law that require d ISPs to block anyone from accessing child porn. There were obvious problems with this law. It's good that Pennsylvania wants to stop child porn, but putting the burden on the ISPs is the wrong way to go. ISPs, of course, are just the pipe. They shouldn't have to worry about what their users are, or are not, accessing. It was also problematic that Pennsylvania was using a ban-list that no one was allowed to review to make sure it was fair. The biggest problem, however, was that ISPs blocking sites ended up blocking other, perfectly legitimate sites that were simply hosted on shared servers. Now, a federal judge has decided that's simply too big a cost and has said the law needs to go. What still doesn't make sense, is that if Pennsylvania was able to identify all of these child porn sites, why were they wasting time getting ISPs to block them, rather than going after those who were actually responsible for running and hosting the sites, and get them taken down that way?

P2P Against Child Porn

P2P Against Child Porn 05/06/2004 01:32 AM
Last year, when other attacks against peer-to-peer file sharing systems weren't working, the entertainment industry pulled out the "porn" card, saying that the file sharing networks were chock full of child porn and it was a danger to anyone using it. Of course, you could say the same thing about the internet, but all the hype even convinced Senator Hatch to push legislation against P2P networks due to all that porn. Realizing that they had something of a PR problem on this issue, it appears the various P2P networks decided to team up and do something to show how they're actually helping to catch child pornographers. They've been working with the FBI to help them track down those responsible for child porn, and are now looking at setting up a system to let users flag child porn so that the networks (and the FBI) can track it down (though, you wonder how quickly that flag will be abused: don't like a song? call it child porn). Finally, in a move that's much more about the good publicity it can generate than actually catching pornographers, they're going to start posting pictures from the FBI's most wanted list of child pornographers on their websites.
