The net is closing on child sexual abuse images
Each day, a team of analysts faces a seemingly endless mountain of horrors. The team of 21, who work at the Internet Watch Foundation’s office in Cambridgeshire, spend hours trawling through images and videos containing child sexual abuse. Last year alone the team identified 153,383 webpages with links to child sexual abuse imagery. Until now, analysts at the UK-based child protection charity have checked to see whether the material they find falls into three categories: either A, B, or C. These groupings are based on the UK’s laws and sentencing guidelines for child sexual abuse and broadly set out types of abuse. The hashing system has had a substantial impact on the spread of child sexual abuse material online, but the IWF’s latest tool adds significantly new information to each hash.
