Child Pornography : Detection and Prevention Using Technology
There are many organisations of all sizes that are committed to fight against Child Pornography and Child sex abuse. They are from civil society groups and specialist NGOs to other technology companies, and I too work in this field by contributing my thoughts occasionally as a Lawyer handling such cases. This article is compilation of latest softwares available for combating the crime of child sex abuse or child Pornography using technology. Microsoft developed PhotoDNA , which is used by NCMEC and online service providers to prevent the redistribution of child Pornography and child sex images. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) similarly works with internet companies to remove child Pornography and child sex images from servers, and collect evidence for police investigations. Google also scans for child Pornography and child sex images across its Apps including YouTube, and through a content safety API helps companies like Facebook detect child Pornography and child sex images
