Questions de politique émergentes

  • Final draft industry codes (Australia)

    May 21, 2025

     

    Australia’s eSafety Commissioner has received the final draft of industry codes intended to protect children from certain harmful content online. eSafety will evaluate the codes for compliance with the Online Safety Act before deciding whether to accept and register them, at which point they will come into effect. If the codes are rejected as insufficient, eSafety may then impose mandatory standards that do comply with the Online Safety Act.

     

    Australia’s eSafety model serves as an example of how other jurisdictions may approach regulation of online platforms to ensure online safety for children. The effects of eSafety’s work may also impact populations beyond Australia.

  • Digital Services Act consultation (EU)

    May 21, 2025

     

    The European Commission is accepting feedback from stakeholders on guidelines about “measures to ensure a high level of privacy, safety and security for minors online” drafted under Article 28 of the Digital Services Act. This is an opportunity for advocates—even those outside of Europe—to share perspectives and influence this significant piece of regulation. While the final guidelines would apply only to platforms’ operations in the European Union, this consultation process and its outcomes could inform regulatory efforts in other jurisdictions as well.

     

    The public consultation closes on June 10, 2025.  For more information, see https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/commission-seeks-feedback-guidelines-protection-minors-online-under-digital-services-act. 

  • TAKE IT DOWN Act (U.S.)

    May 19, 2025

     

    The TAKE IT DOWN Act (S.146), which NCMEC and other child protection advocates supported, has been signed into law in the U.S. The new law prohibits online publication of, and threats to publish, intimate visual depictions of a minor—including both “authentic” depictions and “digital forgeries” that are not already covered by CSAM laws—to abuse or harass the minor, or to sexually arouse any person.

     

    The law also requires online platforms to remove such images or videos, including those created using artificial intelligence, within 48 hours of receiving a request from a person depicted in the imagery.

     

    This report-and-remove requirement is important to empowering victims and compelling online platforms to remove harmful content. The TAKE IT DOWN Act is also one of the first U.S. laws to specifically address harms associated with generative artificial intelligence.

     

    The law is distinct from NCMEC’s Take It Down service, which helps users remove online intimate images depicting them before they were 18 years old. That service is available in more than 30 languages.

  • REPORT Act’s First Anniversary (U.S.)

    May 7, 2025

     

    On May 7, 2024, the REPORT Act was signed into law in the U.S., marking a significant advancement in the fight against online child sexual exploitation. Among other modifications, the REPORT Act requires online platforms to report online enticement and child sex trafficking to the CyberTipline for the first time and requires platforms to maintain material relating to a CyberTipline report for up to one year. The law is already making a major impact.

     

    Online enticement reports to NCMEC’s CyberTipline rose from a monthly average of 42,230 in the last 6 months of 2024 to a monthly average of 69,636 for the first 4 months of 2025.

     

    Child sex trafficking reports received by NCMEC’s CyberTipline in the first 3 months of 2025 exceeded the total child sex trafficking reports received in all of 2024.

     

    See NCMEC’s REPORT Act guidance for more information.
