Transparency reporting on child sexual exploitation and abuse online
This report provides an overview of the policies and procedures for addressing child
sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA) material across the global top-50 online content-sharing
services. It finds that only 10 of the 50 services define CSEA with sufficient detail
to understand what is prohibited on their services, and only 20 of the services issue
a transparency report on CSEA. Even among those services, there are significant variations
in what behaviour is captured in their definitions, and the metrics, methodology and
frequency of transparency reports differ across platforms. While good practices exist,
the report reveals a fragmented response to this complex and evolving problem, which
limits comparability and makes it challenging to conduct a thorough assessment of
the overall impact of platforms’ efforts to combat CSEA.
