12. How Do We Know Its Working? • Subscription prices higher. • Increasingly difficult to do a test transaction with a traditional payment tool. • Positive feedback from law enforcement. • Fewer commercial sites being reported.

14. Most child sexual abuse content is hosted / accessed on the conventional Internet But mobile can be misused in similar ways GSMA Board decision to take proactive collective action against child sexual abuse content Launch of the Mobile Alliance Against Child Sexual Abuse Content in February 2008 Background Visual image

15. Key objectives and scope • To obstruct the use of the mobile environment by individuals or organisations wishing to consume or profit from child sexual abuse content • Create significant barriers to the misuse of mobile networks and services for hosting, accessing or profiting from child sexual abuse content • Help stem, and ultimately reverse, the growth of online child sexual abuse content • The scope of the mobile alliance is global and its activities are limited exclusively to combating child sexual abuse content on mobile services • Membership of the mobile alliance is voluntary but restricted to those who commit to implement key actions (‘minimum commitments’)

16. Summary of key membership commitments Operator members commit to: • Support and promote ‘hotline’ mechanisms for customers to report child sexual abuse content discovered on mobile / Internet services • Implement ‘Notice and Take Down’ (NTD) processes to remove child sexual abuse content posted on operator-hosted services • Implement technical mechanisms to prevent access to URLs on the wider Internet which are listed as hosting child sexual abuse content • The GSMA and the Alliance members call on all mobile operators, worldwide, to take action and participate in the Alliance • Cooperation and external engagement is key. Success requires support from Governments, law enforcement and other stakeholders

17. Conclusion • Industry can play a strong role in the fight against online child pornography • It’s not always easy but these initiatives show we can make a difference • But we all need to take action, across each sector and across geographies • Working together with one aim
