Internet Watch Foundation

The Internet Watch Foundation has been working with all the UK Mobile Operators on safety & responsibility issues over the future development of 3rd generation mobile services and will provide the same reporting & take down procedures as we advocate & promote for child abuse & illegal images downloaded via PC’s.

 

We will provide an IWF WAP site service, an initiative under development in conjunction with Bango net, so mobile phone users can easily report any illegal content they may inadvertently be exposed to.

 

If and when illegal content appears on the services Mobile Operators make available, then the IWF will work in partnership with them, to have illegal content removed and to assist the police wherever possible to trace the offender.

 

Peter Robbins, IWF CEO:

“We are very pleased to be working with the Mobile Operators and for contributing to the formation of their Code of Practice. It is very important that there are safeguards in place to protect vulnerable people from potentially illegal content when using new technology. All the operators have acted responsibly and illustrated their commitment to keeping mobile internet safe.”
