Are to introduce new strict rules, checks and specific technology to try to ensure child abuse is not shown on the internet or on anything controlled by them I should say. Its good news, very good news or it should be.
Why are Google and Microsoft only acting now to attempt to prevent this obscenity? Is it likely they think child abuse is new? Frankly I'm not impressed. I don't understand the inaction. Child abuse is known, the hot spots preferred by paedophiles are known. The way some paedophiles direct their careers to give them easy access to children is known.
All of it is known and yet action against it always seems way too little for what is necessary and often appears to be nothing more than an attempt to allow the subject to drop out of the public consciousness by lulling us into believing everything that can be done is being done. And we believe it that is we believe it until the next obscenity is revealed usually by the death of one of the small children we were supposed to be protecting.
I'm suspicious of this latest move if the NSA can crawl all over American and every other nationalities emails etc why do paedophiles continually slip through the net and why has it taken the big two so long to do something they must have had the technology for a long time.
Many child abuse experts and even some online commentators are less than impressive drooling as they do or seem to over every newspaper clipping and report. I do understand their surface reasons I've mentioned them above but one or two individuals are less than convincing and that is what we should all be watching out for; the expert who on close examination may be found to have ulterior motives for his/her activities.
Google and Microsoft's latest actions are on the surface admirable but it highlights the deeper and unanswered reason for their inaction over a very long period. I hope it at least succeeds in cutting some of the evil that's out there but I'm not convinced it will get anywhere close.
I'm giving Google and Microsoft the benefit of the doubt here and assuming that this laudable if belated initiative has nothing to do with an attempt to distract us from any bad publicity resulting from the Snowden disclosures.....That would be a very cynical thing to believe.....
