Child abuse images to be wiped from web Mr Schmidt revealed Google will roll out a system that allows illegal images and videos to be "tagged" so that all duplicate versions can be traced and removed from the web. The search engine has developed an advanced new technology called "Video ID," which can detect and then delete numerous child abuse videos from the internet at once. Google will automatically apply its Video ID technology to YouTube but will also make it available to other web companies for free. Microsoft and Facebook are believed to be in discussions will Google about using the system. Other proposals include on-screen warnings to discourage "vile" searches and greater funding for official bodies which work to remove indecent web content. Details of the measures will be announced at a Downing Street summit on internet pornography today. Welcoming the move, David Cameron said: "Our pressure on search engines to help stop child abuse imagery and extreme pornography online has delivered."
