Why Implement NetClean WhiteBox?

Blocking Internet Content Blocking access to Internet material is a controversial issue as it can and in a few cases is used by governments to block political, security and religious content deemed unsuitable. However, there are areas where the blocking of content is much less controversial and highly supported on a global scale such as 'Child Sexual Abuse Imagery' (CSAI). This includes the blocking of web pages which contain degrading images of children being sexually abused.

The Internet Provides Growth Opportunity for commercial pedophile rings. Consequently the number of children being abused and the number of images being circulated and sold has grown exponentially with the growth of the Internet. The Internet is for most of us a positive global communication tool, but for pedophiles has facilitated the development of a billion dollar business producing and selling CSAI globally. Recent convictions support this and the amount of CSAI being created and circulated is growing dramatically.

"The growth of video and Internet technologies highlights the possibility of the emergence of more ways for criminals to manufacture and distribute child sexual abuse images such as video streaming on demand, webcam sessions or even virtual sexual abuse." Interpol

There are many strategies being put into place to combat the growth in viewing, collecting, selling and producing child sexual abuse imagery not to mention putting a stop to the abuse by locating and convicting pedophiles. Global cooperation between government, NGO’s, Law Enforcement and the Internet industry is essential to combating the growth of this criminal industry and the abuse of children.
