About the Internet Watch Foundation The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) is the official UK hotline for assessing and removing child sexual abuse material from the internet. [...] The IWF works closely in partnership with the internet industry, law enforcement, and governments globally to stop the repeated victimisation of people abused in childhood and make the internet a safer place, by detecting, removing and blocking illegal online child sexual abuse imagery. [...] The scale of online child sexual abuse To give you an idea of the scale of the problem, last year the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) assessed over 390,000 reports and confirmed over 275,000 web pages containing images or videos of children suffering sexual abuse, with each page containing hundreds, if not thousands, of indecent images of children. [...] Action needed to tackle AI generated CSAM The IWF is calling on legislators across the world, including the UK Government, to ensure that child sexual abuse laws are updated in line with emerging harms, to prevent AI technology from being exploited to create child sexual abuse material. [...] The first-of-its-kind service empowers children in the UK to have sexual images of themselves removed from the internet, and provides support and counselling if requested.
