I’m posting this as a concerned parent and as a warning to other parents.
Recently it came to the attention of my wife and I that our 16 year old son was selling pornographic material online. He was doing it as a small business and the ease he does this, is astounding and after some investigation our problem seems rife online.
So this is to serve as a warning to other parents on how to watch out for the problem and protect children on the Internet.
This is the process we discovered he used.
Firstly he downloads porn which is not owned by him and free on the Internet from File Locker sites. Then he uploads it to another file locker like letitbit.net and he’s paid when someone downloads it.
Astoundingly the payments are going through well known credit card payment companies like Paypal and others. He earns from all the payments.
After some investigation I discovered a search engine site called filestube.com and discovered much much worse porn. Not only the normal porn which I find hard to stomach, though legal. There are also things like I can’t think of without being sick. All being paid for through credit cards and companies like Paypal. It seems abhorrent that a household name like Paypal would be doing this.
These file locker sites are not small, research led me to Megaupload and a Multi Millionaire owner Kim Dotcom, who now faces jail for his activities. Until I researched I had only associated Megaupload with the downloading of music and films.
So here are two ways to stop this kind of activity. Install a program like Net Nanny, it’s easy I promise, from netnanny.com. And check the “History” on the browser. This is done by dropping down the tool bar at the top of the page on the web browser and allows you see where people have been surfing.
