Effective Implementation of the OPSC 2010, para. 32

Paragraph
Paragraph text
Many kinds of media are used: live shows, photographs, films, compact discs (CDs), digital images recorded or distributed over the Internet or on mobile phones, social networks, as well as cartoons. The development of new technologies, which exponentially increases the opportunities to obtain, disseminate and sell this criminal material, has fostered worldwide growth in child pornography. These new technologies considerably broaden the scope of predators' activities by allowing them to stalk, recruit and exploit children all over the world. In chat rooms and blogs, child pornographers take advantage of their anonymity in order to solicit children for sexual purposes (grooming by means of information technology).
