A concerted international effort could see the end of websites that profit by selling images of child sex abuse, a leading action group has said.
The UK’s Internet Watch Foundation conducted research to identify how many sites trade such images and concluded there are 2,755 such sites worldwide. Of these, 80% are judged to be fully commercial operations.
The IWF said this “manageable” number could be eliminated if net firms, governments and police worked together.
