The ISIC - Part Of How The Child 'Protection' Industry Operates

Beware of the Internet Safety Industrial Complex (ISIC)

"Predators and sexting, oh my

There are a lot of other fake numbers out there including some who are still reporting that “20% of kids have been approached by a predator.” That number is a misinterpretation of a 2000 study that found that a 5th of kids had received an unwanted sexual solicitation online but what the fear-mongers don’t tell you is that many of those solicitations come from other kids, most were non-aggressive and none resulted in actual contact.

And then there’s the panic over sexting. A flawed 2009 study claimed that 20% of kids had engaged in sextjng [sic] but a much more scientific study from the prestigious Crimes Against Children Research Center found that only 1.3% had sent or created an image of themselves that showed breasts, genitals or “someone’s bottom.” A somewhat higher number (2.5%) sent images where they were either nude, partially nude or in a sexy pose, even if fully clothed.” Studies by Pew Research and other reputable organizations have yielded similar results."

Child porn up ‘exponentially’ online

"The amount of child abuse imagery on the internet has increased “exponentially” and is expected to grow even more, the EU police agency has warned.

"Europol predicted “higher levels of demand” for new child abuse material, fuelled by continued advances in technology. This includes the “proliferation” of live video streaming which does not necessitate the actual downloading of material, and the expansion of cloud computing.

The EU Serious and Organised Crime Threat Assessment, published by Europol, said this is only one area of criminal activity that is set to worsen.

The agency said cyber crime will further develop as a “serious threat to society” and economic crimes, such as counterfeiting of legal products, and frauds will emerge as significant threats, aided by the ongoing financial crisis."

Official: Timely child porn prosecution a key

"In 2006, U.S. attorneys handled 82.8 percent more child pornography cases than they did in 1994.

Olson says the reason for the increase is likely due to the prevalence of child pornography and easy access to it on the Internet."
