The government has commissioned the body that age rates films in the UK to test the feasibility of monitoring online pornography for violent and abusive content.
英国电影分级委员会(BBFC)的试点项目将为部长们提供依据,以决定最有效的方式来弥合线上与线下监管之间的差距,这可能最终导致设立一个正式的网络审计机构,天空新闻了解到这一情况。
The pilot by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) will inform ministerial decisions on the most effective way to close a gap between online and offline regulations, potentially resulting in a formal online auditor, Sky News understands.
英国电影分级委员会(BBFC)已经对“线下”色情内容进行监管,例如在商店购买的DVD,但目前尚无针对互联网上视频的等效规则。
The BBFC already regulates "offline" pornography, such as DVDs bought in shops, but there are no equivalent rules for videos on the internet.
这导致了人们对在实体媒体中被禁止的极端内容在网络上易于获取的担忧,正如保守党女男爵加比·伯特林去年发表的关于网络色情的里程碑式报告所指出的那样。
It has led to concerns that extreme material banned in physical media is easily accessible online, as highlighted in Baroness Gabby Bertin's landmark review into online pornography published last year.
该报告由保守党女男爵伯特林主导,已促成针对发布和持有某些类型网络色情内容的新刑事罪名,包括勒缚、乱伦、继亲乱伦以及成年人扮演儿童角色。
The review by the Conservative peer has resulted in new criminal offences for the publication and possession of certain types of online pornography, including strangulation, incest, step-incest and adults role-playing as children.
这些法律将在今年年底前生效,并得到活动人士和国会议员的赞誉,被认为是全球最严厉的法律之一。
The laws will come into force by the end of the year and have been praised by campaigners and MPs as some of the strongest in the world.
然而,伯特林女男爵表示,为了使立法有效,还需要“更主动的监管”,包括“抽查和审计”。
However Baroness Bertin said for the legislation to be effective there also needed to be "more proactive regulation", including "spot checking and auditing" .
她对天空新闻表示:“这是关于监管非法内容,而不是关于监管性癖好。”
"This is about regulating against illegal content, it's not about regulating sexual kinks," she told Sky News.
伯特林的报告曾建议由英国电影分级委员会(BBFC)对网站进行审计,鉴于其在监管线下色情内容方面已有40年的经验。他们之前曾指出线上与线下监管之间存在差距,并表示他们已做好扩大职责范围的准备。
Bertin's review had suggested the BBFC audit websites, given its experience monitoring offline pornography for 40 years. They have previously raised concerns about the disparity between online and offline regulation and said they stand ready to expand their remit.
他们在七月获得了一份为期三个月的合同,负责开展“互联网服务审计”试点项目,这被视为重要的第一步。
They were awarded a three-month contract for an Audit of Internet Services pilot in July, seen as an important first step.
该试点包括生成关于某些网络色情内容可获得性的证据,并评估在考虑到市场规模庞大的情况下,如何能够大规模地进行监控和报告。
The pilot includes generating evidence on the availability of certain online pornographic content and evaluating how it could be monitored and reported on at scale given the huge size of the market.
尚未做出最终决定。不过,政府表示希望实现线上与线下监管的更大程度一致,相关实施计划预计将于秋季公布。
No final decisions have been made. However the government has said it wants to achieve greater parity with offline and online regulation, with a delivery plan expected in the autumn.
“污染者付费”模式:审计机构很可能需要资金来雇用人员监控内容,并引入新技术。贝廷女男爵提出了一种“污染者付费”模式,即色情公司、社交媒体公司和搜索引擎均需为此模式出资。
Polluter pays model An auditor would likely need funding for staff to monitor content as well as new technology. Baroness Bertin proposed a polluter pays model where porn companies as well as social media companies and search engines pay into it.
“这样一来,你们就可以对用户说:我们已经经过验证,只要访问我们的网站,就不会看到非法内容。”她还表示,除了监控非法内容外,审计机构还可以制定指导方针,以应对那些虽不违法但在现实世界中会被禁止的“灰色地带”内容。
"You are then saying to users, we are tried and tested and if you come into our site you won't see illegal content." She said as well as monitoring for illegal content, an auditor could draw up guidance to address the "grey area" of material that is not illegal but would be banned in the offline world.
该机构还可以进行突击检查,核实表演者的年龄和同意情况,并要求保留强制性的书面记录。
It could also do spot checks for age of performers and consent, requiring mandatory paper trails.
贝廷女男爵得到了许多女性工党议员的支持。今年早些时候,这些议员曾威胁要反对政府,最终迫使部长们撤销了对近亲乱伦色情内容的禁令。更多来自天空新闻的报道:应对极端色情内容被视为工党承诺在本十年末将针对妇女和女童的暴力行为减少一半的关键举措。
Baroness Bertin is supported by many female Labour MPs, who earlier this year forced ministers into a climbdown over a ban on step incest porn after they threatened to rebel. More from Sky News: Tackling extreme pornography is considered vital to Labour's pledge to halve violence against women and girls by the end of the decade.
贝廷女男爵表示:“大量免费获取的色情内容对女性充满暴力和虐待;同样,也有无数聊天论坛对‘如何安全地给伴侣下药’等令人发指的话题毫无监管。”
Baroness Bertin said: "A lot of pornographic content freely available is incredibly violent and abusive towards women, likewise there are countless chat forums where discussions on abhorrent subjects like 'how to safely drug your partner' are left unchecked.
“如果这些内容涉及恐怖主义,法律将立即全力介入;在涉及针对女性的暴力行为时,也应如此。”
"It this was content related to terrorism the full force of the law would act immediately, this should also be the case when it comes to violence against women."
