On Instagram fake shops are advertised that just try to rip us off

“Brand clothing down to 90% off,” is one of the recurring ads that appear lately on the Instagram social network. It directs us to a Web page where we can supposedly buy expensive clothes at suspiciously low prices.

The funny thing is that although the attempt to scam is obvious and the page clearly leads us to think it is a scam, Instagram admits to it and does not remove it, at least within a reasonable period of time.

Sweetie, the virtual girl who hunts cyber pedophiles, wants to collaborate with the Police

Terre des Hommes (Land of Men) is the Dutch NGO that in late 2013 created Sweetie, a computer program aimed at finding pedophiles on the Internet and to report the growing threat of child sex tourism through the Internet.

In just 10 weeks since its launch, 20,000 stalkers contacted this 10-year-old virtual Filipino girl. From that figure, and thanks to the information they provided while chatting with Sweetie, the Dutch organization located and identified about 1,000 pedophiles from 71 countries, and then provided all the data collected to Interpol.

On the Internet, several cases of pedophilia continue to be discovered

We know that on the Internet you can find perverse contents of all kinds, such as information for manufacturing explosives, promoting the radicalization of terrorists or for making weapons with 3D printers. But one of the most striking, just to show the extent to which human degeneration arrives, is that of pedophilia.

The traffic of images and videos showing sexual content of and with minors is, apparently, much more common than we might think. In a police operation carried out in Spain last February a large number of people were arrested who shared, stored and even created this type of content.
