ISPs to Create Database to Combat Child Porn
BlueCup writes to tell us that several media companies are banding together to create a database of child pornography images to help law enforcement officials combat distribution of questionable material. In addition to the database several tools and new technologies are also planned but most notable is what some perceive as a willingness to cooperate which critics say has been lacking in the past. From the article: "Each company will set its own procedures on how it uses the database, but executives say the partnership will let companies exchange their best ideas — ultimately developing tools for preventing child-porn distribution instead of simply catching violations."
We can't let the ISPs have a monopoly on child porn databases and filtering. We need an open-source child porn database, using open standards and free from DRM, and freely available to the public, so that everyone can access all the world's child porn and thereby protect themselves against it.
Yes! Exactly!
Think of the children!!
Er, wait, that's the problem to begin with . . .
(It's an oldie but a goodie, folks!)
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
Anyway, it's just another case of "think of the children!!1"
If anything, I think the point is to NOT think of the children. At all. STOP IT SCUMBAG.

I am Slashdot. Are you Slashdot as well?
If we make sure The Good Guys (read: us) have 99 times as much nukular weapons as The Bad Guys (read: them), then only 1% of all nukular weapons will be in the hands of the Bad Guys. Now if we continue to increase the nukular stockpile so we have 999 times as much as The Bad Guys then only 0.1%
So if 'we' have an infinite amount of nukular weapons, the Bad Guys virtually have none at all!
RTFA - no way! Not when the link is on the words "database of child pornography"... I can imagine the headlines now... 3,000,000 /.ers arrested for paedophilia!

My god, you're right. We will create a new format called Pink N Giggling just for that purpose.

I hold very few opinions. I hold information based on observation and fact. If you wish to disagree, please use facts.
I think this is how tinfoil-hatters send email.

It's true I tell you, feller at work's next door neighbour read it in the paper.
Imagine being the poor DBA of this project:
Cute chica at bar: "So, what do you do for a living?"
DBA: "I am the DBA for the largest single collection of child pornography on the planet. You?"
Excuse my speling.

Snowden and Manning are heroes.
Dude, you are trying to use "logic" in an argument involving children and sex. That is clearly not allowed in the US.
You are not thinking of the children. So, again, I must implore you to Think of the Children!
