SHAREAZA FORENSICS MANUAL

Letter to US Department of Justice About Child Protection System Software The Child Protection System (2010), filed as docs. The document had overlays on some parts through which we could nonetheless read material. We have reproduced it here without the overlays.

Human Rights Watch is also publishing an excerpt from a users manual for the software, copyrighted in 2010, that discusses law enforcement access to personal data about internet users. The material, which we found as a document filed in relation to a court case, formed the basis of our concerns regarding potential law enforcement access to personal information when using the software. We received a response from CRC but not from TransUnion. We also wrote a letter to CRC and TransUnion, a private databroker, raising similar concerns. Human Rights Watch is now publishing our letter to the Department of Justice (see below) to which we did not receive a response. On April 3, 2019, ProPublica published, ' Prosecutors Dropping Child Porn Charges After Software Tools Are Questioned,' about this software and linked to our letter. However, the use of surveillance software to scan networks without warrants for violators raised concerns over whether this technology was sufficiently controlled and tested to protect rights. Human Rights Watch strongly opposes sexual exploitation and abuse of children, and supports efforts to eradicate these practices.

On February 1, 2019, Human Rights Watch sent a letter to the US Department of Justice raising concerns about the use of software owned by a private non-profit company, Child Rescue Coalition (CRC), to investigate suspected crimes related to the sharing of child sexual exploitation images.
