EU wants stricter action against child pornography by internet companies

The Council of Europe wants schools to fight against the ill effects of pornography. Comprehensive sexuality education in schools should become "the main source of information on sexuality for young people", thus helping prevent the spread of unreliable and potentially harmful information via pornography.

The German police have broken down an international child pornography network called “Boystown” with more than 400,000 users on it.

For the first time, the European Council included "exposure to pornographic and other harmful content" in its definition of cyberviolence. It did so in its new strategy for the children's rights.
