GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan (PRWEB) October 5, 2005 -- In a bold response to the unchecked proliferation of pornographic content on the Internet and its indiscriminant targeting of children, IACECAM, Inc., a Michigan non-profit corporation, launched an aggressive initiative aimed at protecting children online through its new website innocenceonline.com.

Online pornographic websites have increased exponentially over the past two years due to the ease and use of content replication. Porn sites now number over 4.2 million, and estimates are that 2500 new sites go live each day. With over 2.9 billion pornographic emails being released daily and most finding there way into unsuspecting children’s inboxes Richard B. Maring, founder and chairman of IACECAM, said he had seen enough.

“Pornographers are using every technological trick in the book to invasively solicit our children and it will take an equally progressive and aggressive technological response to stop them,” explained Mr. Maring. “Children are being groomed and funneled into online porn addiction for profit by these purveyors, with no thought to the long term harm being done to these children. Every parent should be outraged at what our children are being exposed to online. This simply has to be stopped!”

IACECAM is currently developing new online technology, which it has named ‘VICTOR’ (Visual Image Content Technological Online Response). VICTOR will ‘cloak’, or hide objectionable content and keep online porn imagery from a child’s view with 100% effectiveness. The organization intends to be able to offer this service for free to the public.

Mr. Maring continues, “Current filtering technology relies on blacklists of known porn sites physical Internet addresses (URL’s). If you know where it is you can block it. The limitation with filtering is that it is easy to defeat by simply moving the porn to a new location. Once moved the filter can’t see you anymore and you have to try and find it again. This technology just can’t keep up.”

The new system being developed by IACECAM is the brainchild of Mr. Maring, who has spent the last 30 years designing and implementing new technologies for numerous software and IT development companies that he has created. “VICTOR is not location based. This technology doesn’t care where the content is located. Porn can run, but it can’t hide from VICTOR,” Mr. Maring says. “This isn’t as difficult as it sounds. We are using technologies currently available in the market place today; we are just using them in ways that no one has thought of before.”

IACECAM plans to begin testing its new service in the first quarter of 2006 with several local Internet Service Providers. It has already launched its website, innocenceonline.com, and is encouraging the public to visit the site and become actively involved in protecting our children by participating in this project and its funding activities.
