Johan Schlüter: "Child pornography is great"

Ich hatte ja schon vor ein paar Tagen über den Blog-Beitrag von Christian Engström. Allerdings auf Englisch für Planet Debian, so daß vielleicht nicht alle Leser hier dieses wichtige Thema mitbekommen haben. Aber da nun der AK Zensur das Thema ebenfalls a

Of course the consumers needs to get stopped consuming as well. In Germany, for example, there is a project in Berlin called "Kein Täter werden" ("don't become a committer/offender") ([url]http://kein-taeter-werden.de[/url]). It tries to motivate paedophilists to participate in that program before they commit child abuse. Our family ministery, led by the same Ursula v.d. Leyen, cancelled/reduced the funding of such projects and then proceeded with Internet access blocking. That's this so wrong. I don't think that putting more risk on the consumer will help either. Child porn is already an element of crime: if you own, consume, produce or share child porn on any medium, you're are threatened by law with several years of jail (2 or 5 years, iirc). Anyway, Internet access blocking is just the wrong way. At worst, it will alarm content providers that police is after them, when their site will be listed on the blocking list. If the blocking is done on DNS level, the most common plan to do the blocking, they even don't need to obtain a leaked list, but can easily compare their DNS entries against the query results from any provider and remove their stuff. Internet access blocking does not help the victims, but the committers.

Actually, I believe the most effective solution would be to go after consumers, not only producers. As long as it is safe for consumers to look for stuff, they will do so, prompting producers to produce. If nobody buys your stuff you just won't do it. This is the same reason drug combat schemes do not work: as long as there is someone ready to consume, someone else will take the risk and satisfy that need. Put the risk into the consumer, and then consumption will go drastically down, prompting producers to go do something else for a living.
