Kinder, Porno, Hysterie
Was man von diesem Fall auch halten mag, bei uns dahaom im Netz wäre das
undenkbar. Einen Aufdeckungs/Journalisten, der pädophile Chat-Rooms
infiltriert, gibts erstens allhier nicht. Gäbe es ihn, so hätte ihn die
dasige Kyberei nicht erwischen können, da die in solchem Falle zuerst alle
beteiligten Webserver & Router verhaftet & vom Netz genommen hätte.
The People Versus Larry Matthews
The prosecution of Larry Matthews is not just a case of press freedom but
freedom of speech for all, argues Jason Burton.
New controversy now surrounds the case of Larry Matthews, a US journalist
caught last summer in an FBI 'sting' while researching an expose on child
pornography rings on the Internet. Matthews was indicted last summer on
nine counts of possession of child pornography and six counts of
distribution of child pornography. He claims that at the time the alleged
crimes were committed, he was attempting to infiltrate child-porn chat
sites by posing as a paedophile for the purposes of research. In a bizarre
twist of events Matthews himself was arrested as a result of the FBI's
Innocent Images program in Baltimore, Maryland, where agents had adopted a
similar strategy of frequenting anonymous chat rooms to catch adults who
solicit minors and exchange child porn.
Free speech campaigners and journalists in the US have rightfully argued
that if such a request were granted it would have disastrous consequences
for anyone engaged in research where the subject matter strays into
illegality.
However, in the process of defending Matthews' rights as a journalist,
those who set out to defend free speech are in danger of seriously
compromising the rights of the rest of us to make decisions about what we
listen to, read or watch.
