Yahoo E-Crimes Investigator Sarah Mower will highlight Yahoo’s efforts to eliminate CSAM from its services. This will include an overview of who the Yahoo E-Crime Investigations Team (ECIT) is and what they do. She will also discuss CyberTip reporting by Yahoo’s Trust and Safety Team, and how the E-Crimes Team further escalates Yahoo CyberTips when it has been determined that additional risk factors exist, such as hands-on abuse, registered sex offenders, and more. Sarah will discuss a Supplemental CyberTip Report she wrote in 2020 which spurred a multi-agency investigation into a child sex trafficking ring between the Philippines and the United States and the production of thousands of images and videos of CSAM.
