It’s a nightmare reality happening at alarming rates: a child is sexually abused – and evidence of that abuse has spread across the internet like wildfire.
This abuse material is traumatizing, toxic, illegal and definitely NOT pornography.

All information regarding possible child sexual exploitation should be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (@missingkids) by calling 1-800-THE-LOST (843-5678) or submitting through the CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org/.

These reports represent child victims. Child victims whose rights and privacy are violated each time an image or video of their abuse is shared online. We stand with our global child protection partners in calling on the #EU to restore these detection methods now.
A 58% decrease in EU related CyberTipline reports is the consequence of legislation that stops tech from scanning for child sexual exploitation online.
Children are at risk of victimization and we need immediate action from the EU to find a solution.
