[H]ardOCP:

A U.S. Senate panel has unanimously approved a bill allocating $1B over eight years to fight online child pornography. The story says that the bill encourages authorities “to use and create special software designed to nab child pornography swappers on peer-to-peer file-sharing networks.”



All told, the bill would allocate more than $1 billion over the next eight years for a broad array of efforts aimed at tackling Internet crimes against children. It calls for hiring 250 new federal agents at the FBI, the Immigrations and Custom Enforcement Agency, and the U.S. Postal Service dedicated to child exploitation cases; for beefing up personnel, equipment, and educational programs designed to combat Internet crimes against children.
