This discussion paper released by the New Brunswick Ombudsman's Office comes at the same time as an analysis of websites by Cybertips.ca (most news outlets just parrot this press release) and the launch of federal legislation countering child pornography. There are, of course, already laws against child pornography in Canada, and arrests are actually fairly routine. That said, this discussion paper, the Cybertips report, and the federal legislation, are all aimed at increasing requirements for ISPs to report and block the content. This report also recommends limiting online advertising to children, and prohibiting the collection of personal information from children.
