Promonte fights child pornography on the Web
Article:
Promonte has teamed up with local law enforcement to prevent access to child pornography from mobile phones. By establishing a filter to block certain Web domains, Promonte is working to prevent the mobile phone from becoming a tool to spread this illegal content.
“This initiative is about protecting young children from becoming victims of serious abuse. If we can contribute to removing the earning potential for those benefiting from this type of crime, we will. I am proud that Promonte is the first Montenegrin industry player to join this fight,” said Christopher Laska, CEO, Promonte.
Telenor Norway was the first mobile operator in the world to introduce a child sexual abuse filter for mobile phones in 2005. Inspired by this initiative, the GSM Association launched its “Mobile Alliance against Child Sexual Abuse Content” in February 2008. With Montenegro now on board, Telenor is taking yet another step forward in the fight against child sexual abuse.
