Isn't that mainly terrorism, not paedophilia? Anyway, at least in this case, the tip was sent to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which, being a private non profit, doesn't seem too closely associated with the NSA/DHS/whatever government organisation you believe maintains these lists.
- DanBC 12y agoThe UK version - the Internet Watch Foundation - is also a charity but you'd be a foolish UK ISP to ignore what they say. https://www.iwf.org.uk/ https://www.iwf.org.uk/

- DanBC 12y agoIn the UK the IWF provide information about what to block and take reports about hosted images. CEOP are the group that Google would report people to. http://ceop.police.uk/ http://ceop.police.uk/
