US Intensifies Fight Against Child Pornography

TechnoGuyRob writes "BBC News is reporting that the Bush administration has recently stepped up its measures against child pornography. From the article 'Sadly, the internet age has created a vicious cycle in which child pornography continually becomes more widespread, more graphic, more sadistic, using younger and younger children. [...] Mr. Gonzales also said that he is investigating ways to ensure that ISPs retain records of a user's web activities to track down offenders.'"

    Well, it's like the AG said, the internet is creating a feedback loop where younger and younger children are exploited. Since there's a lower limit to how young a child can be, those sickos have gone on to fantasize about children that aren't even born yet! That's why they're using cartoons, because they can't take pictures of people who haven't even reached the stage of fertilized egg yet. They're being victimized years before they'll even exist. Think of the future children!

    Does that mean when I'm 40 I'm going to be looking at mature porn, or will I actually not have the need because I will be hopefully married?

    I'm not following you. What does being married have to do with not looking at porn?

    If the real problem in protecting children from predators or child pornographers is family or acquaintences and not random scary internet people, how can we take steps to combat that problem without resorting to passing globally-invasive internet legislation just to make it look like we're doing something?

    Government cameras in every household, duh.

    Pedophiles have the highest recidivism(sue me I don't spell it everyday)rate of any other crime.They just do it again.They can't help it.They've dropped out of the human race and have become predators,rapists and murderers.The cheapest prisons still cost the taxpayer $60,000 per prisoner per year.
    People,a bullet only costs a few cents,hunting license bring revenue to the tax base.Lets turn this into a fun sport and generate revenue rather than losing it.

    We should just outlaw children. They are an eternal source of trouble. When they're not downloading mp3's, they're out getting molested.

    Government can just produce them in artificial wombs and factories if they need them.

    Maybe sex should be outlawed too and permitted only with a licence in a government sanctioned institution.
