This peice does not concern WinMX folks in general but I know a few of you have expressed concern in the past that not enough information is available for those who accidently stumble across such sites and are not sure what to do if such a thing happens, I hope this BBC article will guide you some of the way in knowing where to turn if you do come across a web site offering child porn or promoting racial hatred.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7689241.stmThe Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) is running an awareness campaign to tell web users how to report images of child sexual abuse.
The campaign comes in response to IWF research which suggests 77% of people who find illegal content do not know how to report what they have seen.
Those finding illegal content can report what they have found anonymously or can leave contact details if they want to find out what has been done about the pages they found.
Ms Robertson said the work of the IWF had led to less than 1% of child abuse image sites being located in the UK.
The organisation produces a list of sites known to host illegal material that is circulated to net suppliers to ensure that UK users cannot reach these sites.
Like most efforts the best results are obtained if we all do our bit in holding the line against such inhuman activity, I hope that sharing this simple article with you generates discussion and further postings across the web so that the message is spread that together we can fight these vile activities.
