Pornography and the exploitation of minors is noted to be the most high-profile form of Internet deviance and crime. The dual problems of illegal pornography that involves minors along with children gaining access to sites with pornographic content were among the main incentives for the founding of the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit in Great Britain to coordinate the investigation and prosecution of cybercrimes. The Internet has also been used to fuel hate crimes, the violation of intellectual property rights, the invasion of privacy, defamation, identity theft, and "cyber-trespass." Although most experts agree that thorough regulation of the Internet is impossible, the Internet has also increased the possibilities for surveillance of users and communications by regulatory authorities. Technology continues to develop to increase opportunities for monitoring individual behavior on the Internet. Although law enforcement authorities admit they are powerless to do anything about most cybercrimes, they are still increasing their efforts to monitor the activities of growing numbers of people who use the Internet, usually without their knowledge or consent. 2 notes
