Anti-Child Porn Efforts Will Make The Child Porn Problem Worse
Found on Techdirt on Wednesday, 11 June 2008
The reality is that it may actually make the problem worse. It turns out that these efforts to make it harder to access child porn have serious unintended consequences: basically, those involved with child porn still have plenty of ways to access it, but it's much more underground than before. It makes it that much harder for law enforcement officials to track down those actually responsible and to stop child porn at its source.
What Cuomo has done is make it harder to stop child pornography while also opening the door to others censoring the internet.
That's exactly what I pointed out yesterday. I just hope that those people responsible will start to think a little and listen.
