The IWF is planning to collaborate with bitcoin exchanges to fight against online child pornography, bitcoin marketplace Brawker to shut down, uTorrent removes hidden bitcoin miner, and more news.

Brawker, the site that connects Bitcoiners who want to purchase things currently only available for fiat with willing buyers, has just implemented multisignature escrow as a default for all transactions.

Brawker is looking to expand the playing field for Bitcoin by becoming the first online marketplace that allows users to quite literally buy anything online. Customers also have the option to use a credit/debit card or PayPal as well.
