Children can’t protect themselves from the dark side of the internet.

Child sexual abuse is a problem that reaches into our homes through our tablets, phones, and laptops. It is a global issue, but hardly anywhere in the world has introduced laws to stop it.

In the coming months, the EU has an opportunity to change that.

A new EU proposal would make it compulsory for tech platforms to design safe services for our children; detect, report, and remove child sexual abuse material from their platforms and protect our children from online predators.
