New ‘Cyber Paradise’ for Paedophiles and Racists?

The crackdown in eastern Europe and the United States on websites posting racist content or child pornography could expose Latin America to the risk of becoming a new “cyber paradise” for on-line paedophilia and racism, experts say. The warning was sounded at the United Nations-sponsored IGF in Rio de Janeiro, which has been discussing issues like security, access and diversity on the net this week.Many of the websites bearing illegal and harmful content were hosted by the Czech Republic. But after the clampdown they migrated to countries like Panama, according to Thiago Tavares, head of the non-governmental organisation (NGO) SaferNet Brasil.
