Google to Fight Child Porn on YouTube

GOOGLE is enlisting the same image-recognition technology the company uses to trace copyright violations on its YouTube video site to fight online child pornography, the company has announced.
Google said it is working the US National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) to help automate and streamline how child protection workers troll through millions of pornographic images to identify victims of abuse.
The project is applying so-called video fingerprinting technology, which Google has been urging media copyright holders to adopt as a means for policing widespread piracy of professionally created video programming on the Web.
A small team of Google engineers have worked for more than a year with federal agencies and NCMEC's analysts in its Child Victim Identification Program to create software to automate the review of some 13 million pornographic images and videos that analysts at the center previously had to review manually.
The Google technology promises to let analysts more quickly search the center's video and image databases to identify files that contain images of child pornography victims. Other tools from Google also help analysts quickly review video snippets.
Shumeet Baluja, a research scientist at Google said in a company statement he had recruited a handful of fellow engineers to create the video detection tools as a side project to their day jobs during the course of 2007.

CHILD MOLESTER FEARS

VIEWING child pornography could be a training ground for becoming an active child molester, according to South Australian sex offenders rehabilitation expert Dr Andrea Louis.
Her comments came as SA Police said two of the 40 people currently under investigation for child pornography are teachers - but did not reveal their identities.
Dr Louis, director of the Sexual Offenders Treatment Assessment Program, said accessing child pornography revealed a sexual aberration and a willingness to participate in the abuse of children.

Predators Risk All
SEXUAL predators were still trawling the Internet for Melbourne children yesterday, despite the country's biggest Net pornography crackdown.
In Just one hour yesterday, the Sunday Herald Sun was approached by four potential pedophiles looking to set up meetings with what they assumed were young children.
The finding came two weeks after an investigation caught out several men trying to meet girls from chatrooms dedicated to teens.
Experts in child protection said this week's Net porn bust, which resulted in up to 200 people charged and 300 implicated, had uncovered the tip at an Internet pedophilia iceberg.
