UK to crack down on networks profiting from online child sex abuse
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it."
The Independent funds reporters to cover developing stories across topics like reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, relying on donations to keep reporting free from paywalls. The UK government is increasing efforts to disrupt criminal networks that profit from online child sexual abuse, including addressing AI-generated images. New Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced plans with Five Eyes partners: America, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Ministers are developing tools to tackle revenue streams such as live streaming, selling content access and hacked accounts. AI may be used to detect synthetic images and to reduce law enforcement exposure by categorising material in the Child Abuse Image Database. Child sexual abuse causes devastating harm, and the chance to profit from it fuels these crimes.
