Google looks to tackle child pornography on the Internet

Google is devising ways to get rid of all kind of child porn from the Internet. The search giant is creating a database of pornographic images of children that will be shared with law enforcement agencies, other tech companies and charitable organization in order to wipe the Internet clean of such images. USA’s National Center for Missing and  Exploited Children’s Cybertipline  received 17.3 million images and videos of suspected child abuse. This was four times the reported cases that the Exploited Children’s Division (ECD) saw in 2007.”Behind these images are real, vulnerable kids who are sexually victimized, and victimized further through the distribution of their images. It is critical that we take action as a community-as concerned parents, guardians, teachers and companies-to help combat this problem,” a statement from Google Giving said.
