• How to fight child porn: Don't break into or damage any computer on which you find child porn, as that would destroy evicence that law enforcement needs to rescue the victims and imprison the criminals. Don't save or forward any child porn images to law enforcement, because possessing it yourself is illegal. Instead, if you encounter child porn, send them the Internet address where it is stored and they will investigate it. Places where you can report child porn:
