Demand for abuse imagery raises
As per a study conducted by an International media house based in the European country of United Kingdom, the demand for abuse imagery has shot up during the lockdown imposed to curb the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak.
The report says that between March and April the demand for obscene material online has almost doubled.
Similar findings have been made by a US based agency, named Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.
What the report indicates is that the issue deserves urgent attention. The issue exposes an unattended area in connection with the lockdown regulation.
It is assumed that it is the drop in site deletions due to the lockdown that contributes to the rise in the obscene material in the online space.
The issue is expected to trigger a serious discussion across the world over the topic. A global investigation, involving several advanced investigative agencies, needs to be launched to fight this issue.
