Child Abuse Material Surge: 325% Increase in Ireland
Description
Reports of computer-generated child sexual abuse material in Ireland surged by 325% last year, with the Internet Hotline handling 61,317 tips. The content is increasingly hidden behind paywalls and closed groups, making it harder to detect and remove. The Hotline chief calls for banks and financial services to block payments fueling this issue. Public tips on illegal content rose, with a 96% removal rate for intimate image abuse. Scams reports also increased, while hate speech and AI deepfakes remain challenges. The Hotline emphasizes the need for collaboration across tech, law enforcement, government, and global partners to combat online harms.
