Current laws protect the innocent to some extent, but the process of collecting evidence and presenting it in court is a difficult task. Without the proper organization of log records, the perpetrator might never be found, Thaweesak said. Some, such as webmaster Sangkom Sanjorn, were not thrilled about the prospect of a regulated Internet. He said too many laws were already in place, but were not being properly enforced. He urged everyone to proceed with caution and to act only when there is substantial cause to worry.
Laws are both preventive and suppressive.
Most of the forum agreed that prevention was necessary. Lately, it has become a trend for young children to chat until late at night - sometimes on inappropriate topics. The use of servers to block inappropriate websites from being accessed was also suggested. Recently, websites that defamed prominent figures and that promoted paedophilia have taken as long as two days to be taken off the Web. A current website with paedophilia content received as many as 2 million hits or individual visits.
