I personally think the internet has reached the state where you can no longer safely use it for porn. There is too much corrupting stuff out there.

Even on the most wholesome www sites, there are usually schoolgirl and/or teen categories. (OK, they aren't real schoolgirls or teens, but how many girls do you meet who dress as schoolgirls and use a teddybear as a sex toy?)

You pays your money you takes your chances.

However, I think it would be nice and somewhat effective to have clients which allow filtering of user-defined strings (could be in a config file easy to download and distribute) which drop any passing search for said content, instead of passing it on (or replying;-).

If enough users get these filters, then it would become very hard to search for this stuff without making a seperate network.

Sure, they will start to use the word 'teen' instead of 'preteen' - they already do. You take a risk to download any jpg (or mpg?), as far as I can tell.

Stick to the mp3s ;-)

Perhaps we could kindly request the paedos to encrypt their files? It would be better for everyone! Then they can use the extension .pgp or something, and we won't find the files when we search for .jpg.
