<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">The challenge of course is that in the absence of a silver bullet solution, that people working to combat all forms of child exploitation are simultaneously trying several things, ranging from going to the
source as you suggest and arresting people, to trying to interrupt the online tools that they may use or that might fund/support them, etc. So they don’t approach it as a binary choice between trying these ecosystem measures vs going to the source – they
are working all the levers. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Most UK ISPs use the Internet Watch Foundation's advice intended to<br>
block child sexual abuse material.<br>
<br>
Circumventing it enables people to access that material.<br>
<br>
We can shout CHILD PORNOGRAPHY just as loud as you can shout<br>
CENSORSHIP so perhaps we should both stop now. There are plenty of<br>
valid reasons for a DNS resolver to block some results.<br>
