	Well, where do you draw the line when it's your neighbours, or a workmate, or you suspect your eight year old niece is being interfered with by her father. Its not easy, but the net isn't special in that regard. And I firmly believe that if you know something is happening, where someone is getting hurt and you don't do anything, you're complicit.

I have to confess that back in the early '90s when the 'net was still young and fresh, I came across a post in a group I read that offered access to pics of naked children. I called* the FBI on their sorry asses.

*Yes, an actual phone call. This was before web pages (or at least before everyone and his grandmother had web pages). The FBI agent I spoke with didn't seem to know what I was talking about - where had I seen this "post"? It took me a long time to get him to understand that I'd seen it on an online community. Ah, the good old days.
