Cybertip Canada

Rather than waiting for Project Arachnid to detect material and send a notice, industry can use Shield by Project Arachnid to quickly detect known CSAM on their service, which will, in turn, speed up its removal. Industry members that do not wish to interact directly with Shield by Project Arachnid can register their service/domain with the Canadian Centre to have any notices sent directly to them instead of being sent to their hosting provider. Other industries, such as filtering providers, can download real-time lists of URLs that are believed to currently contain CSAM for filtering purposes.

EOKM and Web-IQ

HashCheckServer is a tool for hosting providers to prevent the uploading of known child sexual exploitation material. To prevent the uploading of known child sexual exploitation material, hosting parties needed to be part of the solution as they provide one of the gateways to publishing CSAM. Based on this knowledge, EOKM took the initiative to help hosting parties to prevent the uploading of known CSAM and to identify existing material on their servers so that it can be deleted. Following this initiative, EOKM asked Web-IQ to develop software that allows hosting parties to check whether an image appears in the police’s database of known CSAM.

Google

The Content Safety API sorts through many images and prioritizes the most likely child sexual abuse material (CSAM) content for review. The classifier can target content that has not been previously confined as CSAM.

Google/Youtube

SafeToNet helps prevent sexting, bullying, abuse and aggression.

Thorn

Thorn runs the country’s most extensive online deterrence program, communicating directly with people searching for CSAM, disrupting their sense of anonymity and encouraging them to seek help. By suggesting help resources, we aim to change behavior and increase accountability. We are constantly testing messaging, identifying the best tactics to reach and persuade specific sub-groups, and capturing aggregate data to inform future research.

DeafKidz International

Interactive, accessible digital platform to help deaf children stay safe from online abuse and exploitation. Through educational games, children will learn to protect themselves from online risks, e.g. exploring what an inappropriate chat conversation might look like, the warning signs of abusers.

Internet Watch Foundation (IWF)

None in Three (University of Huddersfield)

Working in partnership with the Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL) and Promundo, both in Brazil, the team, led by Professor Adele Jones and Professor Patricia Tzortzopoulos, will conduct research into online child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA). They will use the findings to develop and evaluate ‘Emilio’, an educational video game targeted specifically at young males considered to be at risk of engaging in online abusive behaviour. The game will aim to head off potential online CSEA at its roots by addressing its underlying drivers among those most amenable to change, the young. Because young people are still developing, it is easier to help them modify their thinking patterns and to make the link between emotion and behaviour; essential for violence prevention.

Suojellaan Lapsia Ry

ReDirection is a self-help programme that works to prevent the consumption of CSAM on the Dark Web, which builds on the Finnish government’s accredited New Direction rehabilitation programme for sex offenders. The project will also reveal new information about these searchers and their pathways to CSAM access and use by providing targeted support for these individuals.

University of Kent

A culturally sensitive digital "serious" game that educates children about online child sexual exploitation and trafficking, with built-in evaluation and at-source reporting.
