MJ, I agree with you on that point. Apparently, AOL had this technology back in 2005 when an acquaintance of mine was entrapped with an image in his email. AOL, unbeknownst to him, promptly reported him to DHS/ICE. America’s war on CP is much like its war on drugs, the end users are the only ones filling the prisons while the providers, who are known to law enforcement, continue to distribute their poison.

wow, you would think at the very least that the state/feds would use this on there own mail servers as it could stop government employees from downloading images accidently or on purpose but then again the gov. needs to pay there friends/relatives to sit at a computer all day long trying to catch people with incorrect images.

How many times must we bring these things to their attention?

Robert – if you can dig into this and share your findings with Gail (gail@floridaactioncommittee.org), this is something she will be bringing to the legislators.

If there is a way to dramatically reduce the volume of this stuff out there, the number of arrests for it will come down. The government doesn’t care about that, naturally, but the victims contained in the images probably do and if the argument is that every time an image is shared the individual depicted is re victimized, the governments’ unwillingness to put effort into the removal is criminal.
