A case of the headline misreporting the facts of the poll and the poll reporting a 'double answer' :
4% of men â the equivalent of one million men, and 2% of women, the equivalent of 500,000, report actually having come into contact with it, or have stumbled across it. Full report here.
So, what proportion of those actually 'stumbled' across it and what proportion otherwise came into contact, (by looking for and at it, for example!)? I suspect v few 'stumbled' and probably most of those who claimed to have 'stumbled' are lying!
What worries me most about this poll is not that people don't know how to report it to the IWF, (let's face it anyone and everyone knows how to contact the police,) rather that, of the 2,058 people polled that 17% were apparently not concerned about it! This is not 'child porn,' it's images of children being sexually abused and 350 of those polled were not concerned about that
