THE Internet's dynamic nature makes it difficult to block all
undesirable websites, including online chatrooms or forums used by
sexual predators to meet minors and groom them for sex.
One reason is that such perpetrators do not 'incriminate'
themselves by setting up specific websites for their purposes, but
often lurk in popular chatrooms used by the public, said a Media
Development Authority (MDA) official.
Thus, it believes that promoting public awareness and industry
self-regulation is the right approach to tackling this problem,
said deputy director for media content and standards Jason
Hoong.
