> In a further crackdown on what Mr Cameron referred to as ‘the darkest corners of the internet’, Downing Street will tomorrow announce that a national database will be created to give every illegal image a label. While we're at it, why don't we do that with videos, too? The label won't contain any content, just some "metadata" that we can use to "verify" whether or not an image/video is illegal. [0] We should also create an easily-queried database for all of these, just in case we aren't sure whether or not a particular image/video is actually illegal. Then, we can create a tracking program, or "tracker" to keep tabs on who is in possession of these images/videos at all times, and broadcast their IP addresses publicly[1]. I think this would be an excellent use of government money.
