Excellent interview here with Baroness Kidron, explaining why her amendment to the DPDI Bill debated yesterday in @UKHouseofLords is so important. She is right we have to tackle the tools that enable the production of CSAM if we are to have an impact in tackling its proliferation
“Children are having their childhoods robbed from them," our CEO Susie Hargreaves told @itsanitarani @BBCWomansHour this morning. “Just because they’re in the house – don’t assume they’re safe.”🎧 Listen from 9.30. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
Our CEO Susie Hargreaves OBE will be at @BBCWomansHour this morning talking about the launch of our landmark Annual Report. Don't miss it out! Coming up at 10am.
🇫🇷 New Statement on Online Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation in #France. 🌐France is the fifth largest Host of #CSAM in the EU (@IWFhotline). 🚨 We call for robust prevention measures and comprehensive regulation to keep all children safe online. suojellaanlapsia.fi/en/post/france…
Sweden's @Expressen highlights @IWFhotline findings that show children as young as three are being groomed online by sexual predators. Swedish police urge parents & carers not to blame kids & to take control over what they do online. #BehindTheScreens expressen.se/ekonomi/tech/l…
Analysts at @IWFhotline found that these sites on the .de domain openly advertise the most extreme types of child sexual abuse #BehindTheScreens German Internet domain used by criminal groups in worst year for online child sexual abuse euronews.com/next/2024/04/2…
"The Online Safety Act needs to work because these online harms are getting worse. It is imperative that we take this threat seriously and that we are all doing our bit to prevent the spread of child sexual abuse imagery," said our CEO Susie Hargreaves. mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/s…
We must protect children from horrific online abuse and exploitation. Alongside the Online Safety Act, work that organisations like @IWFhotline do is crucial to making the UK the safest place in the world to be online. Read more below ⏬
#BehindTheScreens: In 2023, we identified 176 cases of sexually coerced extortion, or sextortion, where the offender had blackmailed their victim for money or further imagery. 👦 We get most reports from boys, aged 14-17. Learn more in our Annual Report: iwf.org.uk/annual-report-…
Calling the children's workforce of Nottinghamshire. The UK Safer Internet Centre are hosting a free online safety update in your area. Hope you can join us. Friday, 3 May 2024 09:15 - 11:15 BST eventbrite.co.uk/e/online-safet…
One of the (if not the) most important reports of the year for professionals and parents/carers, showing significant and disturbing increases of the online abuse of children including self-generated imagery of children as young as 3 👇 @IWFhotline
The Rt Hon James Cleverly, Home Secretary, said: "The tireless IWF is fundamental to further efforts to tackle more growing threats. Companies moving towards privacy enhancing technology, without sufficient safety measures in place, presents an existential risk to the detection…
Today's @IWFhotline report shows how far predators are willing to go to exploit children as young as three. That is why our Online Safety Act will mandate companies to step up and keep children safe online.
IWF Hotline Director, Chris Hughes, said: "On 24 May 2023, literally overnight, the rules of engagement changed when a member of the team uncovered a curated collection of criminal AI images of child sexual abuse. In that moment we were unwillingly inducted into a new…
“Tech companies should not wait for Ofcom fines before they protect their users. It’s not acceptable for tech executives to make vast profits from their youngest users while failing to protect them. They have the expertise and the resources” telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/2…
An important report from @IWFhotline. Head of Stop It Now, Vicky Young, said: "Whilst it is crucial that we support victims who have been affected by these harrowing crimes, we must also prioritise stopping the abuse from happening in the first place." mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/s…
The @IWFhotline's #BehindTheScreens Annual Report is out now with the latest trends on the global fight against online child sexual abuse material. The report is a must read for anyone working in the field of child protection. Read more at iwf.org.uk/annualreport20…
our analysts have seen evidence predators are recommending the use of #AI tools to create convincing nude imagery to threaten children. Read more: theguardian.com/technology/202…
Grim stats out today but the reality of what is happening. We need to predict future risks to our children's safety and make sure they're protected online.

About to join @IWFhotline annual report - they do fantastic work but there will be findings about online abuse and CSA which will be tough listening
9 out 10 CSAM are self-generated, meaning CSAM is mostly produced through #grooming. Detecting and preventing grooming must become a priority for #EU policy-makers.
#TrendsandData: More than 9 in 10 child sexual abuse reports (93%) in 2023 included 'self-generated' imagery. This is where an abuser contacts a child remotely and grooms, tricks, blackmails, or coerces them into performing sexual acts over a webcam in footage that is…

We're pleased to join @IWFhotline today for the launch of the IWF's Annual Report - partnerships are critical to address the challenge of online child sexual exploitation and abuse
“None of us can defeat this challenge [of child sexual abuse imagery] alone. How we work in partnership is crucial to tackle this problem,” says Simon Staffell, Director of Government Affairs @Microsoft. “In an era of new regulation, new partnerships, is incredibly important we…

One of the (if not the) most important reports of the year for professionals and parents/carers, showing significant and disturbing increases of the online abuse of children including self-generated imagery of children as young as 3 👇 @IWFhotline
#TrendsandData: Almost all (97%) child sexual abuse imagery reports we received showed the sexual abuse of GIRLS. Most child sexual abuse imagery our analysts find is of 11–13-year-olds (54%), but the gap is closing as more and more imagery of 7-10s is being identified (41%).…
