디지털미디어 포르노그래피에 대한 경찰규제

By providing quick and cheap access to any kind of information and entertainment, the digital media is the first truly interactive “mass” medium. It should not be surprising that government is anxious to control cybercrime of the new medium, and the digital media seems to be following a pattern common to the regulation of traditional media. In reality, while digital media tends to produce extreme versions of problems, it rarely produces genuinely new ones. There is a real problem of availability of illegal contents on the digital media, as well as that of the availability of pornography to unsuitable audiences, especially such as children. But any regulatory action intended to expel illegal pornography on the digital media, to protect children from accessing unsuitable content, should not take the form of an unconditional prohibition on using digital media to distribute content where that content is freely available to adults in other media. At the moment bans or pre-censorship acts in relation to pornography would in any case be unworkable because of regulation of the constitutional law. As with so many other types of crime, the digital media technology based on the Internet has introduced a new range of possibilities for offenders, Pornographers were among the first to see the potential of the technology to facilitate an escalation of their activities. The current model of reactive, passive policing methods, with its origins in real world urbanization, does not and cannot protect society and children from bad pornographers using digital technology. This article proposes a new model of policing that can supplement the traditional model and allow us to deal effectively with digital pornography. I suggest a system of policing regulation backed by effectively new set of laws that will provide the incentives necessary to create a workable deterrent to illegal pornography. The Internet is too widespread to be easily dominated by any single police force, the challenge of the new digital age is not merely national but global in nature. Cultural, moral, and political differences and backgrounds of individual will reflect upon their digital media policies, but it will be more and more futile to rely upon the legal system and enforcement of the police exclusively. As this article tried to show, the current solutions offered by the regulators are not necessarily the right ones and therefore, I'd like to say, new ways of policing complex systems will continue to flourish in the Digital Age.
