CHILD pornographers can be captured and prosecuted without having to resort to mandatory internet filters, says Barack Obama confidante and US Ambassador to Australia Jeff Bleich.

Speaking on ABC TV's Q&A program last night, Mr Bleich said Australia had been made aware of his own government's no internet censorship stance and that the US has had "healthy discussions" with its Australian counterparts on the matter.
