The internet has made access to indecent images of children easier. The Internet Watch Foundation works to remove them
when people talked about the “information superhighway”, Peter Dawe had his foot on the gas. The ex-accountant spotted the potential of the internet before many telecoms giants, and soon cashed in. In the early 1990s Pipex, the internet service provider
he founded, was so popular that it struggled to meet demand. But Mr Dawe was also quick to spot the downsides of the connections he was hooking up. “I was one of the pioneers of the internet,” he said at a recent technology conference. “And I should probably apologise.”to tackle online wrongdoing. It was a charity largely funded by tech firms that wanted to remove indecent material and avoid liability for it.
They face a daunting task. On May 14th Lynne Owens, head of the National Crime Agency , said the problem was greater than previously thought, after investigators found 144,000 accounts linked to British people on dark-web paedophile sites. Some accounts could belong to the same person; the police estimate about 100,000 Britons have viewed such images.
Some who create and post the images are as technically sophisticated as terrorists, says Fred Langford, thestarted proactively searching for images as well as responding to reports. It developed “crawlers”, programs that scour the internet for indecent images, and a “hashing” system, a one-way encryption technique that allows analysts to match images without storing the original. Mr Langford hopes to exploit artificial intelligence to save analysts from viewing the images.
