New Initiative With Child Pornography Websites
TORONTO (CP) - Canada's largest Internet service providers and a national child exploitation tipline are joining forces to block access to hundreds of child pornography websites.
Cybertip.ca has launched Project Cleanfeed Canada, which stops Internet users from unintentionally or intentionally viewing child pornography online.
Bell, Rogers, Shaw, SaskTel, Telus, Videotron and MTS Allstream are among the ISPs that will block access to a list of 500 to 800 websites.
As Cybertip.ca and authorities become aware of more sites, they will be added to the list and automatically blocked by ISPs.
RCMP Supt. Earla-Kim McColl says the program should effectively block most intentional viewing of child pornography, although she admits there will always be users who circumvent even the most advanced security measures.
The RCMP and Cybertip.ca say information will not be logged about users who try to access the offending sites.
The above appeared on
The CBC News website, but no explanation was given as to why known child porn sites were not shut down and their owners charged with child porn.
What's up with that?
