ASACP Supports P2P Reporting

LOS ANGELES – Recognizing peer-to-peer networks as potential delivery vehicles for child pornography, Adult Sites Advocating Child Protection has added a P2P abuse reporting link on its whistle-blower site, CPHotline.org.

ASACP worked on the project with the Distributed Computing Industry Association (DCIA), which operates P2P PATROL (Parents and Teens React Online), a site that instructs computer users in the proper identification, removal and reporting of child pornography over file sharing networks. The reporting phase is handled via a link to CPHotline.

CPHotline employs Trusty Networks, a free downloadable P2P program developed by Razorpop. Trusty searches other P2P user databases like Limewire and Kazaa and returns with spyware-free downloads. In addition to its data aggregating abilities, Trusty has a reporting feature that allows a user who suspects a downloaded or downloading file contains child pornography to right-click the file and report child exploitation.

"ASACP knows that there are more distribution methods for illegal images on the Internet than just websites,” ASACP Executive Director Joan Irvine said. “We felt it was important to help other associations and industries to combat child pornography by sharing our recently developed technology platforms.” Irvine said that ASACP’s next step is to brainstorm reporting methods for child pornography over mobile devices like cellphones. In the meantime, the CPHotline is active.

“This saved DCIA years of development and provided an immediate method for P2P customers to report suspect child pornography," Irvine said.
