The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF - www.iwf.org.uk) was set up as a kind of internet police officer, a place where people could go to report illegal content they found online. Its main focus is child pornography.
It acts on tip-offs sent in by members of the public, but one recent tip caused uproar last week. It concerned a page on Wikipedia.com, about '70s rock band Scorpions. Their album Virgin Killer featured a distasteful picture of a naked girl, and it was this that caused the report to IWF.
