Adrian Dwyer - INHOPE - Child Protection on the Internet

About the Topic:

The IIEA is conducting a study for European Commission DG Justice, Liberty and Security on non-legislative measures (NLM) to prevent the distribution of violent radical content on the Internet. This seminar discussed the work of INHOPE, the International Association of Internet Hotlines. INHOPE is an international network of member organisations which operate internet hotlines. Membership includes 21 of the 27 EU member states, as well as Canada, Taiwan, Iceland, Japan, Russia, South Africa, South Korea and the United States. INHOPEs principal function is to act as a coordinating body, and to provide a structure in which hotlines in individual countries can liaise with one another in order to follow up particular complaints. It also plays a role in liaising with international bodies and European initiatives, awareness raising and expertise sharing between hotlines. Member organisations include child protection NGOs, ISP associations and ISP-sponsored iniatives, and government-sponsored initiatives or departments.

This speaker is in a bad way, whatever he's trying to say is not getting across. Unfortunate for child victims another failed voice on their behalf.
