Re: Increasing Denial of K-Porn is Important to Some. Just because we're more aware doesn't mean its increased any.
Sexual abuse against children has always been around. People just never spoke up that much. Look at all the people coming out about sexual abuse by the catholic church. Just because more people are reporting their abuse now doesn't mean its actually increased. It just means we're more aware.
Our ability to track things, especially on the internet, has greatly increased. In your 2004/2006 stats the word "known" is pretty important. Just because we didn't know about it doesn't mean it wasn't happening.
The real issue is abused children. The suppliers. It doesn't matter how many people leech images off the internet. They aren't the ones hurting the children. The people creating the content are the ones causing the abuse, not the leechers.
There doesn't seem to be a lot done to protect the children. Every time I hear about someone downloading images and then being arrested I just feel saddened. All they've done is waste time and man power to catch a person who probably never harmed a child, and they act like its some sort of victory. Sure, they've arrested a pervert, but he's the very last type of person they should have been after. Where are the arrests for the creators of the content? I couldn't care less how many voyeurs they catch. I'm only interested in the people who harm the children. Looking at a photograph sheds no blood.
And where's the whole 20,000 NEW images a day stat coming from? That seems pretty high for this kind of content. |
