Twitter Watcher

I'd like to pass the baton, as it were, to a new blog called "Twitter Watcher" at http://twitterwatcher.blogspot.com/ .   The best word I can think of to describe pedophiles is "Legion," because they are indeed many.  Therefore, it's not surprising that Twitter is now having problems with users posting child pornography.

Sorry, DHS

There was a sleazy-looking site up recently that called itself "Precious Treasure Holiday Company" and appeared to be promoting sex tourism.  I filed a report with NCMEC/Cybertipline and also sent email to the Cleveland Police department.  There was no response, and the site remained online.  So I tried reporting it to the hosting company, which did shut it down.  There's a copy of the PDF they sent my friend with the password protection removed here.

Turns out that the "sex tourism" site was actually a string operation run by DHS.  Perhaps it should have been a tipoff that the site was created with a version of Microsoft FrontPage that appeared to be about 8 years old.  It does seem like it might have been a good idea to communicate with the hosting company ahead of time, though.
