Hotline boosts protection measures for internet child porn

EFFORTS to tackle the problem of child pornography on the internet received a boost yesterday with the relaunch of a hotline developed by the Internet Service Providers Association of Ireland.

The website, named www.hotline.ie and which was established nine years ago, allows people to notify the association of child pornography and other illegal content discovered on the internet.

It also investigates reports of material relating to financial scams, phishing, racism and incitement to hatred.
