Child porn, sexting, cyberbullying probed in report to Congress
Tax breaks for companies that pay for counseling for staff who are tasked with
wading through horrifying images of child pornography — that is just one
of the recommendations in a 116-page report to Congress about how to
improve child safety online.
A working group formed by the
Commerce Department submitted the report on Friday in compliance with the
Protecting Children of the 21st Century Act.
The group dug
into some of the most disturbing issues of the digital age, including
how to make sure child pornography is reported, how long technology
companies should retain data when it can be helpful to law enforcement,
how parents should get involved with their children’s digital lives and
how education about online safety problems should be improved.
Cyberbullying, sexting and other issues were raised in the report, which
was crafted by representatives from the private sector, Justice
Department, Federal Communications Commission and Federal Trade
Commission.
They looked at how to use education, labeling and
parental control technology to improve conditions for children online.
