Internet Pedophilia Crackdown

June 16, 2004 | ISSUE 40•24

A multinational police team plans to patrol Internet chatrooms as part of a crackdown on child pornography and pedophilia. What do you think?

  • It's about time. As a market researcher, I'm sick of perverts in chatrooms propositioning me whenever I pretend to be an 11-year-old girl.

  • This is great news. I find child pornography sickening, but I am aroused by images of Belgians being led away in handcuffs.

  • An international anti-child-porn force would dramatically increase the possibilty of authorities rappelling in through skylights, which is good.

  • Shouldn't we be fighting terrorism, and not doing anything about anything else?

  • That's going to be yet another weird government office to accidently wander into.
