BKA chief is behind von der Leyen

The President of the Federal Crime Office (BKA) Joerg Ziercke has explicitly thrust of the Federal Family Minister Ursula von der Leyen welcomes child pornography Internet sites to block the law. "Mrs. von der Leyen prejudge the fight against child pornography on a topic, which I feel intensely committed and that with the proliferation of the Internet, a whole new dimension," said Ziercke the Evening Gazette. The Minister had said in an interview with the Evening Gazette announced that they will act accordingly Telemedia wants. Ziercke himself had previously called for child pornography Internet sites to block. The BKA chief expects that this measure "the dissemination of procurement and possession of child pornography" is difficult. "The effort, which the perpetrators must operate increases," said Ziercke. "And the more consistent the provider proceed against such deals, the more difficult it will be in the possession of child material to come."

Moreover, the perpetrators would be permanently shown that "what they do socially ostracized and will be criminally sanctioned." Ziercke is safe: "medium-term downward pull traffic declining profits and make the child pornography business with less lucrative." According to Ziercke have "Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Italy, Switzerland, New Zealand, Britain, South Korea, Canada or Taiwan, positive experiences with the blocking of respective sides made". In Sweden would be carried out by the so-called blocking access daily about 50 000, in Norway about 15 000 attempts to access child pornography sites off.

Like the minister, Ziercke portrayed the Internet as the key medium to disseminate child pornography. It contributes to that image, the "earlier in clandestine circles from hand to hand have been present at the press of a button in real world irrevocably available" were. The victims were traumatized and unimaginable "in hitherto unimagined scale permanently in the public stigmatized."

Despite a commitment by the Internet industry, these pages from the net to take the police recorded rising numbers. According to police crime statistics, 2007 12 772 cases of sexual abuse of children on the Internet pages. "On the Internet there are several images on which Gewaltausübungen documented infants and small children, or even severely abused and mistreated," said Ziercke. "Overall, there is a trend towards ever younger victims to see." The Association of German Internet Economy Eco, a statutory scheme to block the sites rejected, was yesterday for talks with the BKA. About the contents were not disclosed. Under cross-party agreement with the thrust of the Minister, the Greens expressed skepticism on Friday. The child policy spokeswoman for the German Bundestag, Ekin Deligöz, warned in the "New Press" before a "national isolation".
