In this episode, we discuss topics that some may find triggering, relating to child sexual abuse material on the internet.
David Willett hosts Joel Scanlan from the University of Tasmania to discuss strategies in preventing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online. Joel highlights the importance of integrating safety by design on mainstream platforms, following alarming statistics of accidental exposure to CSAM. Emphasising deterrent measures, they explore the effectiveness of warning messages and chatbots in dissuading potential offenders. Both highlight the role of large tech firms and regulators in enhancing transparency and accountability, aiming to create a safer digital environment with fewer opportunities for CSAM to proliferate.
