Musubi, a tech company that supports platforms to defend and respond to trust, safety and fraud concerns, has joined the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) to help fight the spread of child sexual abuse material online.
As EU negotiations on the Child Sexual Abuse Regulation resume in Brussels, the Internet Watch Foundation places a choice before the public and policymakers – to either push for legislation that protects children online or make it easier for child sexual abuse content to spread.
Child safety software co-designed by Mumsnet will gain additional safeguards thanks to a partnership between social impact company SafetyMode and the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF).
