Internet firms should use profits to stamp out child abuse images, says police chief

Mike Barton says companies must do more to stop content appearing online, and questions difficulty of removing images

Mike Barton challenged firms to do more to stop the content appearing in the first place, as police arrest hundreds of suspected paedophiles every month.
