Well done Michael Salter and Tim Wong on this review, which sheds important light on parents who abuse and produce #csam of their own children. Despite being common, this issue is rarely discussed and needs to be focused on more if we are to protect children from harm

Tomorrow at 11am AEST AIC will be hosting an online seminar 'Preventing child sexual abuse material offending: An international review of initiatives' - register here to attend: eventbrite.com.au/e/preventing-c…

In response, the Australian Government has launched the ‘One Talk at a Time’ campaign that encourages adults to have preventative conversations with children, young people and other adults. Learn more at childsafety.gov.au #OneTalkAtATime

Our research is unequivocal that men who sexually abuse children use encrypted apps at much higher rates than men who don’t. Meta’s decision will result in many more child sex offenders using Messenger.

Meta's choice to fully encrypt its platforms means it has effectively exempted itself from its moral duty to ensure a product it commercializes doesn’t cause harm. Offenders know they can now trade CSAM without risking anything. This is unconscionable. protectchildren.ca/en/press-and-m…

Meta has done child sex offenders a favour by moving to default end-to-end encryption on Facebook & Messenger, allowing offenders to share abusive images privately without Meta's ability to remove this material. They have turned their back on children. aic.gov.au/publications/t…

0.8% of individuals surveyed in the community reported recent viewing of child sexual abuse material

Every child deserves to be able to explore the digital world without harm or fear. Watch the new documentary from the National Office for Child Safety & Blackfisch to better understand how we can protect our children online. childsafety.gov.au/shadows-of-the…

This study found that accidental exposure to CSAM led to subsequent intentional viewing in 44% of respondents, pointing to a crucial need to remove CSAM from online platforms and prevent accidental exposure: doi.org/10.1016/j.chia…

Many law enforcement agencies are considering more efficient ways to process CSAM in investigations - this paper gives a really good overview of the benefits and risks of using cloud-based infrastructure to do so

This rapid evidence assessment examined how AI can be used to detect or investigate child sexual abuse material or child sexual offenders

This systematic review found that children who are sexually extorted experience psychological harm, socio-environmental impacts, financial costs, risk of ongoing victimisation and criminal justice involvement: aic.gov.au/publications/t…

We found that among adolescent victim-survivors of sexual extortion, boys were more likely to be targeted by offenders demanding money, and girls more likely to be targeted for intimate/sexual images
