Did you know that if child porn is detected, by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), they are required to report the case to the missing children's center for further investigation, under federal law.
The article link discusses approaches to battle child porn images. Part of the plan is to create a unique mathematical signature for each one based on a common formula. Emails would then be scanned for any matches.
What the plan seems not to address currently are the social networking sites, photo sites and non email related distribution of these images. Will the ISP’s scan their entire sites for any matches to the mathematical signature regardless of where the image reside or just emails and possibly IM’s?
