Kiddy Pr0n
 

Child pornography is such a serious issue on the internet today. I would love to see a program such as LimeWire do some research into a child pornography filter. I am not the most technologically literate person, but I do realise that this would be an immensely difficult job. However, I think it would be worth it. If there is some, or anyway of filtering out users who share child pornography files or who search for child pornography files, then it would help even just that tiny bit.

I realise that it wouldn't take long for those sick people who enjoy this type of pornography to find a way around these filters, but every little step counts. If you could be booted off the network for typing in kiddie porn into the search form, then this would be some sort of a start.

I am not here to present answers to this problem, because I can't. I am here to request the help of some upstanding internet users who care for the welfare of abused children, and for the welfare of the mentally-ill people who enjoy the abuse of these children. I may sound cheesey and emotional, but only because I am when it comes to this issue (it has hit too close to home too many times before).

Please, I beg of anyone who reads this post, jump on the bandwagon. I want answers. I want to know what can be done. Join me in doing all we can to stop this.

Thank you for your time,

It seems to me that the best way to deal with these people, who fall somewhere at the bottom of the pile of filth that are not seen as decent people, even by the average criminal, is to report their ip addresses to the relevant authorities.


Banning or filtering them from searches on Gnutella, which can only really be done individually, and cannot really filter the content of files that are otherwise named might stop you getting their downloads, but it will not stop them peddling their filth, which they can do in hundreds of ways.

A simple question for a newish user... How would I go about getting the IP address of these people? I would love to report them...

When you seach in Limewire, in the search results window there is a column "location" If this is not showing right click on the bar at the top of the columns and tick "location". also go to more options> extended tool tips and if that is ticked, when you hover over location if it says "multiple" tou will see the different ip numbers.

It occurs to me you are going to have to download some of this muck before you know what it is, and it is very unwise to keep even a bit of it on your computer, as If it is found there you will be presumed guilty Bear theat in mind Please!

whenever i have downloaded it, i downloaded enough to know what it is and as soon as i realise, i delete it...
i hope that is enough...
and i hope that i can start reporting IP addresses if i ever stumble across anymore
thanks a million!

hmm When you delete stuff on your computer it does actually stay on the computer until, at some time or other something gets loaded on top of it. I believe it is possible to completely delete things, and also know that it is possible to retrieve things, sometimes, that have been deleted. I'm not sure of the details, nor do I want to alarm you, but I thought I should just make you aware of the facts as clearly as I know them.

Take Care

Thank you for your concern and for your help on this matter. I will definitely look into properly deleting things off my computer with that information...

Thanks again and all the best
