Against pedophilia on the Internet

 

The exploitation of children is also perpetrated using modern information technologies. While surfing the Internet it is possible to come face-to-face with pictures and videos depicting children in sexual poses or acts. This form of exploitation, aimed at the production of pornography, is one of the most terrible tragedies of the modern era, not only for the brutality of the crime but also because of the widespread nature of the phenomenon.

Our organization has been engaged for years in real work to combat the spread of child pornography online. Using its team of computer specialists, it carries out systematic and skilled work, day-to-day, monitoring the Web to combat child abuse online. This delicate work, which involves maintaining a guard on the ‘information superhighway’, is aimed at the identification, tracking and immediate reporting of illegal sites to the appropriate authorities.

The daily monitoring of the Net feeds a database of pedophiles’ activities online that is continuously updated. The data and information thus obtained provide a valuable indication of the extent of the problem and offer a practical and timely analysis of the range of actions available to combat child pornography on the Internet.

Telefono Arcobaleno’s International Observatory against on-line pedophilia and sexual exploitation of children periodically prepares the "Report on the state of on-line pedophilia" for politicians and institutions involved in the fight.
