Yes, some of these websites that I mentioned actually have a legitimate purpose for a legal exchange of information or communication. However, when someone decides to engage in criminal behaviour using that website as a legal channel of communication, that's where the problem resides. So if we asked a website such as ask.fm, for example, based in Latvia, who posted something or was the user or account holder, they would not cooperate with Canadian law enforcement. They wouldn't even answer our e-mail.
That's where we get back to what my colleague, Assistant Commissioner Oliver, mentioned. Then we would look at by what routing the IP address arrived at, which may identify the fact that the person who originated the e-mail or posting resides in the same city as the victim. Then we can proceed further and get those production orders to find out who owns that account.
So the crime begins with the person. They may use something overseas, but these tools help us to trace it back to the person who did the crime.
