70 more e-pedophiles busted in War To Protect A Single Child. Big bust of those who trade in verboten pixels on Tuesday. Computers towed away to be impounded and none or more children relocated to safer accomodation. Link between pornography and action becomes clearer, movie at 11.
The only interesting part was the company/product touted as the new tool to pierce chatroom user's illusions of anonymity. Surfcontrol even got to whore their product on the wall behind the interviewees. This tool allows the authorities to trace a user back to their ISP, who then turns over their True Name. The video distributed by the authorities (same images on rotation on all news progroms) shows newsgroups entitled alt.sex.children and alt.sex.paedophilla, like that isn't a stupid name for a group. Can anyone please verify if these groups actually exist? (or have ever) I can't, Big Brother Is Watching Me. It's safer if you do it for me, honest. Channel 5's sensationalistic news coverage was the worst. First Kirsty Young introduced the article as "A World-Wide-Weapon Against Our Children?" Then Matthew Wright, host of daytime talk show "The Wright Stuff" (You know its Wright [wing!]) just about declares, "When I hear about child pornography, there ain't a civil libertarian bone in my body! There can be no excess in the pursuit of e-paedophillia!" He then goes on to say we will never be fully rid of child pornography since the most determined will always find a way, but just like we can't solve every murder, there is no reason to give up and legalise murder. The problem with the internet is that it allows the curious to find thoughtcrime rather than just the already committed. No shit Sherlock! How long did it take you to figure that out? And then the conversation gradually drifted round to putting more(?) pressure on PC retailers to ship NannyWare by default. How installing blocking software on my childrens' boxen is going to stop e-pedos exchanging verboten pixels I don't know. Do I detect the subtle fragrance of "Agenda(TM) pour Hominid"? Remember this is the Channel that brought us the hourly headlines, as in, "Media Break(TM) You give us two minutes: we'll give you the world." I guess whatever scares the punters sells more tabloids ^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h responsible news media^h^h^h^h^h^h message. -- "You do not need to see my citations.
