Title: 2013-09-13 Wired.co.uk: BTC, Tor & Gates Foundation combat child exploitation Post by: BitGo on September 13, 2013, 08:26:08 PM http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-09/13/digital-economy-task-force
"Thomson Reuters has teamed up with the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) to form the Digital Economy Task Force, which aims to address some of the risks surrounding digital currencies and the wider digital economy." ""This is a complex issue," said Ernie Allen, president and CEO of ICMEC. "Technology has created a new digital economy, which is being used by some to produce and sell child pornography, and for trafficking and child exploitation. This is a serious problem that requires serious solutions. Our task force will offer balanced, effective solutions for policy makers, law enforcement, regulators and the public."" "The Task Force will include the Bitcoin Foundation, The Tor Project, Trend Micro, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Cato Institute, The Brookings Institute, the US Agency for International Development and Vital Voices." |
