US Failing To Prosecute Online Criminals

Posted by samzenpus on from the get-out-of-jail-free dept.

Ashlynne9423 writes "A report by the Center for American Progress and the Center for Democracy and Technology has found there is too little action being taken against online criminals, despite rising consumer concern about online safety. The report found that state officials were spending only 40 per cent of case time investigating online fraudsters, preferring instead to concentrate on higher profile solicitation and pornography cases."

    From TFS: "A report by the Center for American Progress and the Center for Democracy and Technology"

    Center for Democracy and Technology?

    Who are these people? Sounds suspiciously a lot like "The Bureau of Truth" or "The ministry of Freedom", or some other pseudo-Orwellian concoction.
