Got to agree with MadHacker here. Use existing laws to shutdown illegal activity but also put pressure at government level to a certain basic set of laws. But here is where it becomes difficult.

How old must a willing subject be before it is legal to take and publish nude photos? Is it 16 like in the UK? Or is it 14 as I believe it is in Holland? Or 18 as it is in many other countries? Who decides what's acceptable? And this is why so many are afraid of any censorship!

Do we go to the lowest common denominator or the highest? Or just whatever America in its world police disguise decides?

It is illegal to possess nude photos of under-16s in the UK. But the UK cannot block all sites around the world that think it's OK to show under-16s so its only recourse is to go after the possessors not the publishers.
