What is the "Dark Web"

The Dark Web is a collection of thousands of websites that use tools online anonymity tools such as Tor and I2P to hide their IP address.

Why is it scary?

GCHQ, the government's listening post sees the dark web as an "ungoverned" part of the internet, one of the "darkest places" inhabited by "the plotters, the proliferators and the paedophiles".

It offers, GCHQ's outgoing head Sir Iain Lobban warned, a haven for "the worst aspects of human nature."

Actually I don't see what any of the proposed reforms have to do with the Dark Net!

But this is interesting:

The Prime Minister will also announce a global agreement with 30 countries to increase the ability of police and intelligence services to track more paedophiles and help victims.

The UK will help set up a £50 million child protection fund with Unicef to help protect children from violence and exploitation.

Police forces are preparing plans to create a national database of mugshots that can be automatically searched to identify suspects from CCTV footage, MPs were told yesterday.

Chief Constable Chris Sims of the Association of Chief Police Officers said forces were drawing up plans to search for pictures using biometric recognition software.

It would allow CCTV and other picture evidence to be matched against 12 million photos held in the police national database, identifying potential suspects, in a similar way to which DNA and fingerprints can be scanned.

The technology is already being used by the Metropolitan Police.

A partnership between UK intelligence agency GCHQ and the NSA will look to stop online child abuse. The Conservatives will be pushing through a bill in Parliament that prosecutes online child abuse in the same way as physical child abuse, so anyone who views material relating to child abuse could be hit with the same sentence as those who actively profit from the material.

Intelligence agencies will target the "dark web", where most child pornography is found. Google, Mozilla and other tech companies have been actively removing and reporting child abuse online. Mr. Cameron thanked the tech companies for "going above and beyond" to reduce the quantity and availability.

The new ruling will be enforced for any adult who sends explicit messages to children. The government wants all countries to support this act and work with the UK and U.S. to bring down organizations that actively profit from child pornography and abuse.

A new global protection fund would be set up, to protect victims of child abuse. The UK will pay £50 million to the fund, which is currently the largest donor from all countries backing the fund.

Critics claim the UK government is using the child abuse as a front for more surveillance activity. Mr. Cameron mentioned the new filters would be able to track terrorist activity on the Internet too, alongside other potential crime rings.

The GCHQ has been questioned over the past month by privacy advocate groups for tapping into broadband and mobile networks, but a British committee claimed the surveillance was not a human rights abuse.

Privacy International—a group focused on fighting Internet surveillance—will head to the European Court of Human Rights to prevent further surveillance activity by GCHQ.

A top police officer faced a furious backlash yesterday after suggesting thousands of paedophiles viewing child abuse images online should not be jailed but instead treated by the NHS.

Norfolk Chief Constable Simon Bailey argued that only half of the estimated 50,000 people accessing vile material will go on to physically abuse a child and police simply cannot arrest them all.

But he is just one guy. It doesn't look like many folks are listening.

... so anyone who views material relating to child abuse could be hit with the same sentence as those who actively profit from the material.

Those who actively profit from the material?  Like law enforcement agencies?

[gameover]

Not surprised. We're talking about the UK here. The most irrational and also most Orwellian state driven sociaty on the planet.

[Teldad]

It's not great news for the brits....

[loverboy]

I was hoping things are slowly slowly getting better, however I believe things are steadily getting worse. Any evidence to the contrary? Any good news?

[Girl_Lover]

Well we all knew it was going to get worse before it got better.

Stay strong & stay safe.

Half of them sounds to me like quite a large proportion.  I suppose that I could be counted as one of them having stroked both my girl's pussies at one time or another.  The point is that I stop if they don't want it, which is the most important thing.
