    There are many ways to use the internet for good 5 months ago

    Plenty of good sites out there like Freecycle but there’s another way to improve the internet.

    For some reason my email address ended up on some horrid paedophile spammers list. I actually got teaser photos embedded into these emails that were supposed to get me to go to child porn websites. It was really awful to get these but I was determined not to ignore them for the sake of the children who had been abused and especially those that hadn’t yet.

    I reported them all to the Internet Watch Foundationwhere anyone can report child sexual abuse content hosted worldwide and it’s also possible to report criminally obscene and incitement to racial hatred content hosted in the UK.

    I set up a new hotmail account so it couldn’t be linked easily to me. I got limited info on progress including that certain police forces were talking to a different country’s police etc. For obvious reasons they couldn’t give too much info.

    After a few months I stopped getting the child porn emails which in my mind means that the people responsible had been found and were no longer free to email these horrid pictures around.

    At least I hope it did.



    the way is broad 6 months ago

    There are lots of ways to accomplish this goal. The hunger site and the free rice site are the top two ways that I do this on a regular basis.
