What Does A Bloated Stomach Look Like

of arguments "network barriers against child pornography?"

of arguments "network barriers against child pornography?"

first Against whom power locks directed against child pornography?
There is already such a way that is related to "real" child pornography on the net unless you know exactly where to look you have to. An accidental click, even on legal porn sites is practically never happens because the legal porn industry separates out their own best interest of the very strict child porn scene. Power locks So, they go only to people who deliberately looking for child porn are. However, even if "curious" would be prevented from using the prestige of such material, that would be irrelevant for the prevention of child abuse, since such individuals would not pay for it anyway.

second If power locks efficiently?
power locks are easy to bypass in any form, for example by using another name server, open proxy server or free anonymous services. How to be found on the net easily, the installation of such a bypass strategy only takes a few minutes. It is likely that someone on the consumption of child pornography Material is really interested in a position to make such modifications to its Internet access.

third What are the side effects of grid lock?
The compulsory introduction of network providers are forced to lock the Internet into "good" and "evil" to split pages. By the necessary infrastructure, it is practically inevitable that the providers and data obtained in that person attempts to navigate 'bad' sides. Even if these data are not saved or not, first published, it would it in a next step, an easy law to force the provider to disclose the User data (eg to prosecute child porn consumers criminally). It does not need much imagination to imagine democratic political consequences which arise almost inevitably, because by this type of infrastructure, any other type of user behavior is recorded and analyzed.

4th What has the music industry with it?
The music industry has a major interest in the prosecution of child porn consumers. Once the infrastructure works for the providers, it is foreseeable that they will operate massive lobbying, thus file-sharing sites are blocked it. The German university professor Dr. Thomas Listening to the Institute for Information, Telecommunication and Media Law at the University of Muenster said in an interview: "I have the impression that the family minister knows whose interests they actually account. For the music industry that would criminalize many years, users of private copying, is what is happening now in the minors, the best thing that can happen. This means that the Minister will ultimately exploit it. " (Source: http://www.heise.de/ct/Rechtliche-Bedenken-gegen-Kinderporno-Sperren--/artikel/133480 ).
This relationship is of the music industry also prepared itself: "Dieter Gorny, Chairman of the Association of Music Industry hooked, immediately appears to the Minister: 'The advance of the Family Minister for the prohibition of child pornography on the Internet is a real signal. It is about socially desired regulation on the Internet, this includes the protection of intellectual property '" (Source:. http://www.heise.de/ct/Die-Argumente-fuer-Kinderporno- Sperren-laufen-ins-Leere--/artikel/135867 )

5th What other democratic political consequences are foreseeable? After
will emerge relatively soon after the introduction of network blocking, that they are largely useless, it would be logical to try the next step, described above prohibit circumvention strategies by law. This would then every Internet user who, for some - quite legitimate - reasons to surf anonymously on the net like criminalized forced, ultimately to a massive restriction of fundamental rights to information and freedom of expression and the protection the privacy would result. Expressed the other way: The use of the Internet would only be possible if one takes the same time accept that knowing one's own provider, the state and the owner of the visited web sites, or at least easy to determine what someone has seen and when.

6th What you can really do about child pornography?
As with any crime, there is a reasonable possibility of persecution is to prosecute the criminals, as indeed for many years on the basis of international cooperation between agencies, Internet providers and children's organizations is done quite successfully (see, for example http://www.stopline.at/ , https: / / www.inhope.org/ ).
can also block the effect of power with less effort, also be achieved that are the providers that host the material, as simple attention and asked to remove it. Andrea Mayer-Edoloeyi writes about in the Facebook group "Against Internet censorship in Austria": "What are the alternatives to combat child porn? A ger children computational organization has invested one days work and mail written on 20 providers the Danish were on the blacklist. This 16 children porn sites were gone. One way is not the only one, but more effective than internet blocking. http://www.carechild.de/news/politik/internetzensur_carechild_versuch_blamiert_deutsche_politiker_566_1.html "

7th Conclusion
power locks are against the spread and in particular the production of child pornography largely ineffective. It benefits them subsequently at best the music industry, democracy and socio-political consequences, however unforeseeable.
