6. Threat assessment • Higher levels of demand for new abuse material • Coinciding with greater Internet adoption rates worldwide, currently 2.9 billion and growing. • Offenders seek out environments popular with children + young people • Dealing with highly skilled criminality, encrypting and anonymising activities online on the rise

7. Understanding the broader context in which we operate Legal landscape • Still 53 countries with no law or legal definition of child pornography • Offenders tend to use online storage in foreign jurisdictions where possession is currently not a criminal offence • 2011/92/EC Directive which specifically acknowledges the role of hotlines Political, industry and law enforcement developments • Increased issue awareness and higher on political agenda • Series of initiatives: Digital Agenda, Global Alliance, CEO Coalition, EFC, VGT and ITU COP Initiative • Fight against CSAM gradually embedded in Corporate social responsibility strategies

Looking forward • INHOPE and partners developing a new pan-European multilingual platform for sharing tools and resources between hotlines. • Enhancement of current INHOPE Report Management System (IHRMS) that will allow for a video/ image fingerprinting database to be hosted by INTERPOL • In turn, this will further reduce workloads for hotlines and LEAs caused by duplication • It will allow for sophisticated statistical analysis and pattern identification

10. Why INHOPE statistics are so unique? • Vital element of INHOPE’s work: collect accurate and timely statistics from its global network • Provide actionable intelligence which may lead to the arrest of offenders and the identification of child victims • Build global picture of the distribution of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) • Visualise where further critical action is needed • Publish factual information and trends to assist stakeholders in shaping their strategies. • Data extracted from the INHOPE Report Management System (IHRMS) Co-funded By the European Union

14. Hosting trends CSAM • Hosting patterns change over time, depending on the popularity of technology services within countries.

16. Commercial hosting • Commercial means a financial transaction is needed to access content. • Non-commercial refers to free access.

18. Notice and takedown • Area of critical importance • How quickly this material is removed from public access • Good results do not happen by chance • Closer cooperation with ISPs and law enforcement = content being taken down more quickly than ever
