Google plans to wipe child porn from the Web

Photos and videos of child pornography on the Web have multiplied at an alarming rate over the past few years. In 2011, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children said it received 17.3 million images and videos of suspected child abuse, which is four times more than 2007.
 
"Behind these images are real, vulnerable kids who are sexually victimized and victimized further through the distribution of their images," Google Giving director Jacquelline Fuller wrote in a blog post on Saturday. "It is critical that we take action as a community -- as concerned parents, guardians, teachers and companies -- to help combat this problem."
 
Google's plan is to build a database of child porn images that can be shared with other tech companies, law enforcement, and charities around the world. The database will let these groups swap information, collaborate, and remove the images from the Web.

 Part of the technology behind this database comes from a technique Google already uses called "hashing," which tags images showing sexual abuse of children with a unique identification code.

yep the goal is ambitious and a h#ll of a humanitarian effort, BUT that database
and sharing of said database worries me, nothing like having all the deviant crap
in one place, and who watchdogs the watchdogs, hate to say it,but there are so
many pervs that work, live,shop,ect right next us and they just havent been busted
yet, and may never be, and no one will know about them ,until they are busted
geezze there could be a few lurking in all the groups.depts,that have access to
the database, hopefully the groups can backtrack the info and find the pervs more easily
