UNICEF says Japan failing to control child porn

Japan's government is inching towards a ban on the possession of obscene images of children, which would bring it into line with most other industrialised countries.

But the Japan branch of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) urged Tokyo to beef up its laws by banning child pornography in manga comics, animated films and computer games as well as individual possession.

"Japan, a major player in information technology, is left uncontrolled, meaning children both here and around the world are suffering sexual exploitation for the sake of child porn," UNICEF said in a statement.

A previous campaign prompted laws, enacted in 1999 and 2004, that banned child prostitution and the production and sale of obscene images of children under 18, but simple possession of such material remains legal.

"The media report child pornography cases almost daily," the statement continued. "Hundreds of cases have been brought to court, but they are the tip of the iceberg and figures are still rising."

A committee of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party set up to look into a possible ban on the possession of child pornography, as well as penalties, held its first meeting last week.

READ THE THING...

It says animated/comics/and artistic depictions are not part of this.

It's under law that artistic renditions are not child pornography, and they infringe on censorship/creativity laws.

It's about ACTUAL child porn.

Ah, this thread again.

I don't think just because UNICEF says they're going to ban illustrated material, that Japan's actually going to do it. It isn't harming actual children, physically. There's actually no point to ban media like anime/manga anyway, as it'd help absolutely nothing. Yeah, edited for obvious reasons.

I'm going to assume people are going to have some harsh ideas in this thread-- fun fact: child pornography and molestation is more of a problem in America than it is in Japan, just so you know. It shouldn't be done in any country. A lot of the child porn in Japan are doctored photos, anyway. Even though it's safe not to take the risks, it's ironic that they'd spend time on the issue in Japan while not tending to the brothels of children in 3rd world countries instead.

EDIT: Ha Ha. The article was pulled for posting false information.

Please attempt to make sure what you're posting is somewhat credible, or make sure what you're posting doesn't contain false information before you spread it around in the future. This is how bad rumors, and misconceptions arise and we have idiots spouting out things that aren't true in the future.

Fine then, I just post them as I sees them.
