Ceop plans to ramp up efforts to target child sex offenders who share indecent images of children and try to hide their “digital footprints” online

In so many ways this highlights the nub of a dilemma…

·         illegal and morally wrong – ability to track/ trace and bring to justice.

Versus

·         freedom of expression and free speech – if anyone can be tracked, how about those speaking out who need some level of anonymity

Versus

·         access management and ability to identify – rightful control and controls

Versus

·         wrongfully blamed, accused or judged and need ability to correct/ delete/ modify

Versus

·         human rights protection – ability to provide some level of protection

Versus

·         PII, privacy rights, data protection, laws, regulation and directives – compliance

Versus

·         the right to be forgotten
