Child Pornography Sites Face New Obstacles

By KURT EICHENWALD
Published: December 30, 2005

The once-thriving business for Web sites that offer child pornography generated by Web cameras has suffered a significant setback.

Some of the most trafficked Web sites that directed potential customers to minors' online Webcams have shut down, a move that impedes the ability of the illegal businesses to attract new customers. As a result, minors who open new sites will be less able to market them easily, and those teenagers with sites already in existence will have difficulty expanding their membership lists.

Some of the marketing sites, known as portals, continue to provide links to adult Webcam pornography and other services. However, special pages for adolescent Webcam sites, which allowed customers to rank their favorites, have been removed.

The shutdown of the portals, all of which have been in operation for at least four years, came days after an article in The New York Times described how minors, often with the assistance of their online fans, had begun operating pay pornography sites featuring their own images sent onto the Internet by Webcams.

Good.

This is a horrible blow to free speech.  Did they give any links to such sites that are still in operation Fordo?  If so please share.

Why don't you check the link he posted?  You might be able to see if the New York Times already took the liberty of digging up some child porn for you.

Yeah, I already looked, and there was nothing.

You still claim not to be a pedophile, or did you flip-flop on that too?

Philip, you seem to have a strong desire to pigeon-hole me.  I just want to see the sites in question.  Don't you?

[A18]

Uh, no, actually I don't. I have to wonder why you do.

[opebo]

Uh, no, actually I don't. I have to wonder why you do.

I don't see how one can make any judgements about the claims made in the NY Times article without viewing the speech in question.

It's child pornography.  What else is there to judge?

No, someone else who saw it told you it was child pornography.  Mere hearsay, your honor!

I read the NY Times article. Those children are freedom fighters, not to mention ingenious capitalists!

They found out that they can make thousands of dollars in the privacy of their own homes just by taking their clothes off.

So what?

Huzzah, Jesus, huzzah!

Wait, you mean there is no sex?  What a rip.

At least he doesn't want to corn-hole you!
