After heated campaigns hosted in Britain, Google has decided to take strict measures against child pornography. Google’s Executive Chairman, Eric Schmidt has announced company’s plans to globally lock child pornography websites.
According to David Cameron, the UK PM, “A recent deterrence campaign from Google led to a 20 per cent drop off in people trying to find illegal content, so we know this sort of action will make a difference.” Tests are being run on all platforms of Google such as YouTube, to inspect and remove any kind of illegal content.
In the initial stages, the measures are limited to English speaking nations but the initiative is expected to be expanded to other nations as well in near future. New algorithms are written by the company especially to block websites with such contents.
The UK PM being totally against the entire issue went ahead to say that, “If the search engines are unable to deliver on their commitment to prevent child abuse material being returned from search terms used by pedophiles, I will bring forward legislation that will ensure it happens.”
