Emerging Threats Online
Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Stop Internet Predators has a proven track record of working with lawmakers, parents, teachers, consumers, and children to educate them about the dangers of many new online technologies that predators use to exploit children. With new technologies emerging all the time, this is an especially daunting task.

 

The devastating consequences of criminal exploitation of technology can often strike very close to home. One such example is the tragedy surrounding the alleged predator being referred to in the media as “the Craigslist Killer.” For every story deemed newsworthy there are countless other’s that the general public never hears about.

 

The host of available online tools and applications can be very useful to consumers as they provide a variety of services and benefits often at no cost to the user. Unfortunately criminals are lining up to take advantage of these technologies and the people who use them—most concernedly, our children. It’s time for companies to step up to the plate and provide users with the proper safeguards, and take preventative measures to reduce the risk that criminals rely on.
