Circulation of images and videos of child pornography on the Internet is increasingly concerned in recent years. In 2011, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children claimed to have received 17.3 million images and videos of child abuse, four times more than in 2007.
To help curb the proliferation of child pornography, Google plans to make special image database that pornography and child exploitation on the Internet can be eradicated.
"Children are vulnerable to become victims of sexual and further distribution through their images," says Google Giving Director Jacquelline Fuller in a blog post, which quoted from Cnet, on Monday (17/06/2013).
I felt compelled to take action to contribute both as an internet community, as parents, guardians, teachers and companies, to help combat this problem.
Specialized database of child pornography images can later be shared with other technology companies, law enforcement and social agencies all over the world. This database allows the group to exchange information, collaborate, and remove child pornography images from the Web.
The database will be using the Google search technique called "hashing", which displays images of child sexual abuse will be marked (tagged) with a unique identification code. Computers will be able to recognize the code and searching, blocking, and report all duplicate images on the Web.
Google has helped combat child pornography since 2006. Google is working with other technology companies and joined the Technology Coalition. The search engine company has also donated millions of dollars to non-profit organizations working on related cases.
Besides Google, Microsoft is also actively helped develop hashing technology to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children through PhotoDNA Program. Facebook uses technology throughout its network to ensure no child pornography circulating through its website.
In addition to creating a database, Google will donate $ 5 million to combat child pornography cases. The funding will be divided into global child protection organizations such as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the Internet Watch Foundation, and the Child Protection Technology Fund owned by Google.
