Prime Minister demands Google does more to tackle child porn

David Cameron has demanded Google does more to rid the internet of child pornography, warning that lives are being put at risk.

The Prime Minister said he was “sickened” by the material available online and told web search firms to stop making excuses.

The companies have been summoned to a council of war with Culture Secretary Maria Miller and Mr Cameron’s adviser, Tory MP Claire Perry, on June 17.

Research by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) has suggested that more than half of those who view child abuse images go on to commit abuse themselves.

Mark Bridger, who was convicted last month of the murder of five-year-old April Jones, was found to have a cache of 65 criminal abuse images.

Mr Cameron said: “I am sickened by the proliferation of child pornography.”
