Analysis coming soon

4.4.2. Child sexual abuse material

Criminalizing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) ensures those who facilitate its creation or circulation are held accountable and that society recognizes that the images depict harm inflicted on real children and that accessing or distributing them perpetuates abuse.

More than two-thirds of countries have legislation that clearly defines and bans CSAM, including technology-facilitated CSAM and CSAM possession with or without a plan to share it. 

Fifteen countries have CSAM legislation, but need to add specificity to ensure all children are protected and perpetrators can be held accountable.

4.4.3. Internet service providers' duty to report

Ensuring Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are required to report suspected CSAM enables large-scale data collection to understand the scale of the problem, increases protections for children, allows countries to hold perpetrators accountable, and ensures tech companies do not profit from sexual violence against children.

The majority of countries (nearly two-thirds) are not yet holding ISPs accountable. These include some of the highest-income countries in Asia and Europe, as well as some of the top countries involved in CSAM distribution and hosting.
