1. What kind of Internet content is considered illegal?

Each country defines what is illegal or not by its national legislation. Accordingly, the world of the Internet as a means of communication and exchanging of thoughts between participants who are subject to the corresponding national legislations, does not operate as a deregulate field. An action that is considered to be illegal outside the Internet has to be considered illegal within Internet as well.
Difficulties arise concerning the enforcement of the national legislations in an environment such as the Internet that knows no national boundaries. The definition of offences also differs from one country to another.

2. What kind of Internet content is considered harmful?

Harmful content, according to the definition given by the European Commission, is authorized material subject to distribution restrictions (adults only, for example) or material which some users may find offensive even if, on the grounds of freedom of speech, there are no restrictions on publication.
In order to protect yourselves and your children, to a large extent, from exposure to harmful content, you could use filtering tools.

3. What kind of Internet content does SafeLine accept reports for?

SafeLine accepts reports for websites and newsgroups containing illegal content, which will be forwarded to the police and the judicial authorities. In order to deal with harmful content, users should tern to technological measures (filtering and content rating systems).
SafeLine's interests focus mainly on the subjects of the protection of minors (i.e. child pornography) and of human dignity (i.e. racism and violence).
