Google’s Role In Woodland Child Pornography Arrest Raises Privacy Concerns

"The FBI says the investigation began in March when Google’s hashing technology found two child porn pictures in his Picasa library. Picasa is a cloud-sharing platform for images owned by Google.

From there, the company notified the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which says it found more images on a Tumblr account owned by G. That’s when the feds took over."

The Day The Whole Internet Was Censored, Using 'CP' As The Excuse (Again)

*****

Here We Go Again - Bing, Bong, Google, Giggle

http://therealosc.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/here-we-go-again-bing-bong-google-giggle.html

*****

Of course, anyone who is not lying, or has a modicum of knowledge and/or principles, knows, that these search terms would never bring up any potentially-illegal images, and have not been able to do so, for many years; knowing that, there is no intention, here or elsewhere, to do so. We do know, that they will be on 'the list'.

Bing, first. SafeSearch off. We could turn images off, but, we will take Microsoft's word for it, as a newbie will.

Web search ...

 


 Much as before, now image/videos/news search ...



We have no idea what the 100,000 possible search terms could be !!!

Now, the zealots, profiteers and simpletons, will be jumping up-and-down, for joy, about that result (not that it stops anything, that really matters, of course).

However, the bonafide researcher and Libertarian should be very concerned, indeed.

Image searches lead, often more rapidly, to very valuable (re)sources ... for example, court documents, media reports, related cases and issues etc. etc. etc.

This is, of course, the (predicted and usual) danger of knee-jerk, blanket, censorship.

This is a private company, Microsoft, throwing the baby out with the bath water, for popularity and profit.

This is the false flag, which is (and has been, for a long time) to be used, for all topics, which are, or will be, deemed to be unacceptable, for our consumption.

This is where we are in 2013 ... and it has little to no point (as suggested), at all.

Next time, Google.

Online child safety [sic] – big things [sic] happening 

"Pulling out the stops

Google and Microsoft have really pulled out the stops. This is a very impressive initiative. It is narrowing the spaces in which paedophiles [sic] and collectors of child abuse images [sic] can operate. The challenge now is to work out how to gauge the effectiveness of and learn from the various measures that are being put in place but I am sure there is a will so we can find a way.

The beginning of a new phase

This is unlikely to be the end of the story but there is no question we have reached an important milestone. There are still anxieties about the Darknet and the true extent to which it and the use of encryption may continue to frustrate law enforcement’s and everybody’s efforts. But we don’t always have to do the really hard stuff first. Dealing with the more open parts of the internet has to be a key priority precisely because it is so accessible and therefore has the greater potential to draw in new offenders. All the companies involved deserve a great deal of credit for their willingness to sail into these uncharted waters and so does Claire Perry MP and the Government as a whole for sticking with the issue in the way that they have. I await with interest to see how what is happening in the UK starts to roll out or impact other jurisdictions."

Laboring In The Shadows To Keep The Web Free Of Child Porn

"Internet search providers like Google and Microsoft are also investing in similar programs."

"The Microsoft system, known as PhotoDNA, was co-developed by a team at Dartmouth and has since been donated to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Earlier this year, Twitter began using it to scan every photo that's uploaded to its site.

The program works by scanning known images of child pornography and giving them a unique signature that goes into a database. If that image appears on another site, it is instantly flagged and removed. Google has its own proprietary tagging system that works in a similar way.

But in order for an image to be identified as child pornography in the first place, a person has to review it. The people who do that work for tech companies are employed all over the world, and very little is known about them, says Sarah Roberts of Western University in Ontario, Canada."

Efforts to end child pornography have been ineffective

"In continuing this internet blockade against child pornography, Google has also proposed a solution, a database of “encrypted” child porn images that is said to enable some companies and law enforcement to further collaborate on detecting and removing these photos from the possession of predators.

Google uses technology known as “hashing,” which is similar to Facebook’s photo tagging capabilities.

The software allows the company to tag images with an identification code that is reported and blocked by other companies when locating a duplicate image elsewhere on the web.

Ironically, Google, which is in the business of making news and information widely available, is creating a content blockade."
