We are overwhelmed by the continued outpouring of support. Our community of #DigitalDefenders is truly amazing.
Research from Thorn volunteer & graduate student Rebecca Portnoff uses #AI to link bitcoin purchases & traffickers.
Abuse content shared online creates a cycle of victimization that can feel endless—but it doesn’t have to. You can #StopTheCycle by never sharing abusive content, even in an attempt to report it. Report #CSAM to @missingkids here: report.cybertip.org
"Next...is to eliminate child pornography on the Internet. It’s a pretty ambitious goal, but I think we can do it."
We are deeply saddened to hear the news about friend of Thorn . His leadership in the fight against human trafficking has made our work possible.
It’s a nightmare reality happening at alarming rates: a child is sexually abused – and evidence of that abuse has spread across the internet like wildfire.
This abuse material is traumatizing, toxic, illegal and definitely NOT pornography.
"We [need to] protect the privacy of these kids," said Kutcher, the co-founder of Thorn. "They didn't consent to their abuse being shared online ... Their privacy matters, too."
