Google and Microsoft's plan to stop child porn - PC for All

the past three months has 200 employees at Google working on a technology that will make it possible to filter out material containing child sexual abuse in its search results.

– Even as society will never fully be able to eliminate such corruption, we should do everything in our macro to protect children from harm, writes Google’s Chairman, Eric Schmidt, in an article published by the UK’s Daily Mail yesterday.

In his article , he describes how Google and Microsoft are developing a new technology to detect materials that contain abuse children. The technique can detect both pictures and videos.

To discover images with such content is Microsoft’s technology for image analysis. When an image containing child porn is detected, it may be a unique identifier and all copies of the image that are available on various websites are removed from the Google search engine.

Google will also have cleared out over 100,000 searches that the company knows will lead to websites containing child pornography. A further 13,000 search terms lead users to a warning message informing the user that the sexual abuse of children is illegal.

– Shortly , we will implement the new technology in over 150 languages. It will be a global power, writes Eric Schmidt.

The statement comes a week after the arrest of 348 people around the world who were members of an international child porn tangle. Of those arrested, 40 persons teacher, six policemen and nine priests.
