With the advent of the Internet, child pornography became much easier to disseminate. Explain the three reasons for this development

What will be an ideal response?


Speed. The Internet provides a quick means of sending visual material over long distances. Child pornographers can deliver their material faster and more securely online than through regular mail.
Security. Any illegal material that passes through the hands of a mail carrier is inherently in danger of being discovered. This risk is significantly reduced with e-mail. Furthermore, Internet sites that offer child pornography can protect their customers with passwords, which keep random Web surfers (or law enforcement agents) from stumbling on the site of chat rooms.
Anonymity. Obviously, anonymity is the most important protection offered by the Internet for sellers and buyers of child pornography, as it is for any person engaged in illegal behavior in cyberspace.
