CHILDFUND #TakeitDown

Technology created this monster,
only technology can take it down.

The amount of child sexual abuse imagery online has exploded. Tech companies aren't doing enough to protect children online, and they're only required to report child sexual abuse material when it's reported to them.

#TakeItDown is a national campaign designed to build public support to put pressure on tech companies to proactively removed child sexual abuse content from their platforms.

The campaign garnered support from key policymakers and policy leaders including Senator Dick Durbin and the Senate Judiciary Committee. And the PSA is now part of the Department of Homeland Security’s iGuardians program to train agents and teach online safety in schools. In the first four months that the PSA has been integrated into the program, it has reached approximately 19,000 middle schoolers, high schoolers and parents. 11 victim disclosures have been made and at least one active investigation has been opened.
