To filter out the key words that depict illegal content run LW, and go to tools>options>filters>keywords and just add the words you want filtered out. | Thanks for the info on filtering but that is not at all a viable option in the real world (hiding my eyes from the crime doesn't make the crime go away)...
Of course the people committing the abuse are more dangerous criminals than those that share files but tackling the sharing of files might help trace the problem to it's source?
I think what is perhaps more important is for the file-sharing community to come up with some kind of plan or stratey to tackle the problems of shared kiddie porn and child abuse. If there was a registry of IP addresses that could be verified to contain the porn, that might be a start.
Yes, people make mistakes with what they accidentally download, but if resources and time are put into stamping out the problem then that has to be a good thing...
