We voted in favour of this report, as it focuses on an issue on which there is broad agreement. We endorse the objectives of combating improper Internet use, promoting safer Internet use, particularly by children, and combating illegal and unwanted Internet content, and we feel that even greater attention should be paid to this issue.
We welcome the proposals to set up a programme to finance and coordinate the fight against illegal content, with the focus on raising awareness amongst end-users, rather than policing; to finance and coordinate hotlines in EU countries and coordinate those hotlines with future Member States and third countries; to cut the funding awarded to private companies for developing filter software; and to increase the participation of NGOs in establishing self-regulation for Internet Service Providers, instead of establishing legal control procedures.
It is true that the Internet has developed in such a way as to enable us to move into new technological areas and to ‘navigate’ web pages, yet it is dominated by business interests and has been transformed into an enormous advertising outlet, which extends to the pornography industry and to illegal content such as child pornography and xenophobic and racist material. Measures must therefore be taken, whilst ensuring that fundamental rights and freedoms are not affected."@en1
