The famous law on the prevention of crime had been passed in February 2007. Since it provides that investigators may participate in the pseudonym of electronic exchanges to find serious offenses, such as those related to pedophilia or drug trafficking in minors. Important constraint: they can encourage these crimes, just to see. This cyber patrols against the cybercriminals began operations after the publication in early April 2009, implementation decrees. Nearly nine months later, what results? According to figures provided by Brice Hortefeux in an exchange with Jacques Myard (read, crisp), "more than 315 contacts have been established between cyberpatrouilleurs, police and gendarmes, and potential sexual predators." And? "To date, thirteen people have been brought to justice." Referred does not mean convicted. A meager result as previously thought, according to the doctrine Lefebvrist this sector decimated by all the social ills ( "How long will he raped young girls that the authorities react?").
But while the device is still hot, fresh, Hortefeux is already facing the near future: "Should we go further? I am convinced and I want to use the review of the LOPPSI late January or early February, the muscles for existing devices. We therefore intend to allow the blocking of sites offering images and representations of minors in pornography. This will be a first. "
A "first" that has already been initiated in France by blocking gambling prohibited. A sense of priorities dictated by European standards, but also by the difficulties of implementing this block child pornography sites: the determinism of Horteufeux mine is gray with the delay by the famous LOPPSI 2. According to versions, ISPs have even seen impose an obligation of result in blocking, while the target has been repeatedly demonstrated as impossible or ineffective (see most recently in Australia, the report Untangling the Net - The Scope of Content Caught by Mandatory Internet Filtering, quoted in the column of fresh TheInternets.fr)
