Facebook break-up leads to transatlantic investigation

"The bitter break-up of a Facebook romance involving two Limerick teenagers has triggered a transatlantic Garda investigation.

Gardaí, who are gathering evidence on an alleged threat complaint by a girl against a youth, have brought in Interpol, which is liaising with authorities in the US and Canada.

A Garda source described the investigation as “problematic” as it involves tracking and gathering material from cyberspace.

The two 16-year-olds befriended one another on Facebook and decided to pursue a relationship.

The garda said the relationship came to its next level and the two met.

However, after meeting the boy, the girl decided she did not wish to continue a relationship.

Following this, the youth began to issue threats on Facebook, including one that he would cause her serious harm.

As a result of these contacts, the girl made a complaint to gardaí which has resulted in an investigation that is ongoing.

The garda said a threat to cause serious harm falls into the category of a threat to kill.

In order to get Facebook evidence in the case, gardaí in Limerick have brought in Interpol to liaise with authorities in the US and Canada to access servers there which would contain material relevant to the complaint made by the alleged victim.

The garda said the fact that Interpol have to track down material from North America will cause some delay in the investigation.

Other issues in relation to different interpretations of law in different jurisdictions have also to be addressed by Interpol."

Australia's mandatory ISP filtering plan axed

"Telcos to filter child abuse material via INTERPOL block list.

The Federal Government has formally abandoned plans to introduce legislation for mandatory ISP filtering, closing a dark chapter in politics concerning Australia's internet.

Instead, internet service providers will be directed by the Government and the Australian Federal Police to block "child abuse websites" that feature on an INTERPOL block list [oh, that will be useful, then].

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said in a statement that "Australia's largest ISPs have been issued notices requiring them to block these illegal sites in accordance with their obligations under the Telecommunications Act 1997".

"The Australian Federal Police will now begin issuing notices to smaller ISPs and will work closely to assist them in meeting their obligation under Australian law and prevent their services being used for illegal activities," Conroy said.

"Given this successful outcome, the Government has no need to proceed with mandatory filtering legislation.""

Interpol Victim Identification Laboratory for child sexual abuse launched

"INTERPOL has launched a investigative mobile application which acts as a Victim Identification Laboratory to assist in identifying and rescuing the victims of child sexual abuse. The tool can be used for conferences, training courses and other law enforcement-related gatherings, enabling investigators to share appropriately sanitized child sexual abuse images from ongoing and unsolved investigations with the widest possible audience.

The tool is a duplicate of the System for Advancing Victim identification Efforts (SAVE) developed by the National Child Exploitation Coordination Centre of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Canadian govt has donated the software and hardware to INTERPOL."
