Self-generated content is a normative behavior of today’s youth. But it can have a destructive impact when it’s non-consensually shared or when they have been blackmailed or coerced into producing it. Take It Down is a new, anonymous, and free service that can help prevent the spread of online sharing of nude, partially nude, or sexually explicit images or videos of those under the age of 18. This session will provide an overview of Take it Down, operated by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and developed with the support of Meta. Launched in December of 2022, participants will learn the amazing impact of this global program, how it works and how you can share this resource with children, victims, and families in your community.
Learning Objectives:
Information about x-industry signal sharing and how it’s helping to make the internet a safer place.
Background behind why Take It Down was developed.
How Take It Down works and the impact it can have on communities and what is next for the tool.
