Child-porn filter in Denmark

Large Danish phone company and Internet service provider TDC has "activated a nationwide filter to help fight child pornography on the Internet," DMeurope.com reports. Developed by TDC, Denmark's national police and Save the Children, the filter checks Web addresses against a database of addresses of sites containing illegal pornographic content (involving minors) and blocks illegal ones. The police and Save the Children together do the work of identifying the sites for the database. A similar project in Norway "daily blocks 10,000–12,000 attempts to get access to addresses with child porn, and in Sweden, 20,000–30,000 attempts are blocked," according to Dmeurope.com. Thanks to BNA Internet Law for pointing this news out.
