Childpornography Needs Worldwide Intervention?
In a news report made February 7th, the New York Times stated that a worldwide hunt is being prompted against childpornography. The use of the internet has made all forms of media, knowledge, and entertainment more accessible to individuals across the globe, and has also made those who break the law equally widespread and much more elusive. So it was decided that without a worldwide force striving to counter one of the internet's greatest legal issues, childpornography, it would be impossible to make those guilty of the crimes associated with those acts, to be held accountable.
Currently there have been no arrests made but 2360 indviduals linked to a specific russian website could be targeted. The problem that comes with any international change is the laws that change within each nation in regards to the topic. Many countries deal with childpornography differently. About 95 countries have no laws at all in regards to child pornography according to this article and so to impose laws from others upon them about the topic would be near to impossible or at least very drawn out.
The next problem is the availability of places to put child pornography. Putting your server in a different country if a website is shut down easily allows you to start another and would create much legal issues as to how to prosecute you if you would get caught if your site was in another country than your own, whose laws would be the one to be followed. Once more the internet proves to be more shades of gray than black and white.
