Microsoft ratchets up the fight against child pornography | |
|
||
| Time: 09:53 EST/14:53 GMT | News Source: InformationWeek | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim | ||

Microsoft is investigating a promising and potentially controversial approach to the fight against child pornography--building functionality into the Windows software environment that resists such illicit content. "We are working internally to create products which are not going to be susceptible to that kind of misuse," says Rich LaMagna, director of worldwide digital integrity investigations and law enforcement outreach for Microsoft. It's unclear just how far along Microsoft has gotten with the idea, but Hemanshu Nigam, a Microsoft lawyer whose background includes investigating child pornography at the Department of Justice, has begun working directly with the Windows development group to explore what's possible. "They're looking at, 'What can we do to not have our products used for child exploitation?'" says LaMagna. | ||

So Microsoft is going to detect illicit content on your system?
What's next, "unlicensed" multimedia files detection? Sounds like censorship... |

| It is censorship... but as a PRIVATE company they can do anything they want... just as you have the option to not use their product |

#1 It's ok, most of the people here will bend over and take anything Microsoft gives them without questioning it.
Having said that, in this particular case I don't have any issues about this sort of content being blocked. I can't think of a single good reason why one would have child pornography on their pc (Feel free to let me know if there is one). But the problem with this sort of censorship is that it opens the door for other censorship which would be a bad thing. I just can't see how this can be implemented, how can software work out the age of a person in an image accurately enough so that other images aren't affected? How can it work out the age of a person if they purposely dress to look younger than they actually are? How can it tell the difference between what it considers bad images and the perfectly innocent images on your pc of your own kids at the beach for instance? |

| #3 I think they same could be said about another group of people, no matter what MS gives them they will hate it. |
| #5 By 12071 (203.185.215.149) at 2/6/2005 5:17:29 PM |
| #4 Fair point, I think both sides have people on them that are so sick and tired of eachother that they will just bitch about anything and everything. But I think generally speaking the group which isn't afraid to criticise Microsoft is also not afraid to criticise any other company/software. |
