Did anyone see the item all over the front page of the Observer today?
It has an item quoting the Internet Service Providers Association as
saying that Demon Internet was undermining the fight against child
pornography.

Demon director Clive Feather says "if we could block this stuff
without doing more harm to ourselves, we would".  He says he does not
believe there is any evidence to suggest that pornographic photos of
children encourage paedophiles.

Personally I feel that there is no evidence one way or the other, so
therefore we should take the attitude that many of the pictures shown
were taken in appalling circumstances and should be banned.  Even if
it does Demon financial harm to ban them, it might also harm Demon to
be seen not to be against child pornography.  At some point, we have
to decide what we are for and against.

Anyhow, what do other people think.  And does anyone have an address for
Clive Feather, so I can write to him personally?

J. Woolf.
