Reality Check

OK so nothing's perfect right? I mean fault can be found with anything in the world. But does this mean we ignore the inperfections and let them go? What if the inperfections are hurting people? You may be asking yourself what these questions have to do with fighting pedophiles. The truth is they have everything to do with it.
The internet is a great tool, but it is far from perfect. It is so vast that illegal activity can go un-noticed on it. The vastness of the internet can lead to a feeling that it can not be policed. So people know that pedophiles are operating on the internet, but they don't try to do anything about it because after all the internet is too big. Right?
Wrong! The fact is, children are being victimized because the popular feeling around is that the internet can not be policed. Or people don't want the internet policed because then "big brother" would be watching. I'll leave my personal feelings on that one out of this discussion. But I will say if internet web hosting companies took more care to see what was on their servers the internet could almost police itself.
Yeah, this would cost money, but it would create jobs. More importantly it would save children from falling victim to pedophiles using the internet as a hangout. Maybe it would be an inconvience to big corporations that only care about the bottom line. But should we really care about them? How much do they care about us?
The fact is costing a major, faceless corporation a few bucks here and there won't, in the end, hurt in the end hurt anybody, even the company itself. The expense or the time is worth it, when it saves an innocent child from the pain of abuse.
So yeah, maybe the internet is big, maybe it would be complicated to fully police it. But that does not mean we shouldn't try, not when people are being hurt by it. Visit abusefreedom.com to learn more about a law to help protect children on the internet.
