The battle against
on-line paedophilia gains a new defensive and preventive tool. The first
one concerns the
recently creation of the new web site www.virtualgobaltaskforce.com,
where you can point out suspicious people or ambiguous web-contents. This
website is born under the international collaboration between
police forces and
deputy organisms. Created in 2003, its aim is to convert internet into a safe place,
suitable for everybody, especially for minors, the most undefended subjects, not
protected from evil-minded people who take advantage of the web ambiguity. In
the Virtual Global Taskforce take part the Australian High Tech Crime Center,
the English and Welsh National Crime Squad, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police,
the American Department for Homeland Security and the Interpol. This website, a
part from being a strategical information media on a theme that keep changing
and that is usually well known only by who work close to it (like detectives),
it’s also a useful mean for exchanging initiatives on prevention (cooperating
also with the private sector) and a reference point for finding out supportive
deeds to help eventual abuse’s victims.
