Microsoft creates custom app to fight child porn

“Microsoft Canada, in association with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Toronto Police, the Department of Homeland Security, Interpol, and Scotland Yard, has created an application it hopes will aid in the fight against child pornography. The new application, Child Exploitation Tracking System (CETS), works by linking together data that was previously located at numerous but disparate locations; with CETS, authorities worldwide can share and track information on child porn suspects and cases.”

Ahh this is sweet. Cost $2,000,000 to create, and they plan to spend that amount again to improve it. And that’s Canadian money! Check it out at Geek.com.
