EU plans to set a hotline to police Internet

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

"Justice Minister Dermot Ahern has backed a move to set up an EU wide hotline to combat internet crime.

The European Union has agreed to establish a European alert platform for reporting internet offences.

Ireland already has a national website, hotline.ie, to deal with alerts on child pornography.

Mr Ahern said: "It is very difficult to police the internet.

"But with advances in technology, data retention and other measures, we can continue to close the noose on those who 
use the internet to prey on the young and the vulnerable.''"
