“In our digitally connected world, child sexual abuse material is easily and increasingly shared on the very platforms we use in our daily lives. Harmful interactions between youth and adults are not isolated to the dark corners of the web. As fast as the digital community builds innovative platforms, predators are co-opting these spaces to exploit children and share this egregious content.”
