IJM shares paper to curb net's child sexual abuse content

Sunnexdesk

IN COMBATING the livestreaming of child sexual abuse, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have an important role to play, along with tech platforms and financial sector institutions.

International Justice Mission (IJM) reviewed related literature and has proposed recommendations for ISPs in its technical paper, “Philippine ISP Visibility: Technology, Limitations and Recommendations Related to Combating the Online Sexual Exploitation of Children.”

The paper, principally authored by Caleb Carroll, Internet Crimes Against Children specialist at IJM Philippines, recommends that ISPs:

  • maintain logs, for a reasonable and specific time, of the subscriber they assign an IP address to at a given date and time;
  • complete the IPv4 to IPv6 transition to reduce the volume of times a particular IP address must be recycled; and
  • obtain memberships in organizations that can provide regularly updated URL lists linked to child sexual exploitation materials (CSEM) to block those particular sites (one such organization is the Internet Watch Foundation).
