Project Arachnid
We analyse child sexual abuse materials also as part of Project Arachnid, run by the Canadian Centre for Child Protection. Project Arachnid is a tool to speed up the removal of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) from the internet. Project Arachnid uses both hashing technology and trained experts to detect and remove CSAM from the internet.
Each time child sexual abuse material is spread online, a child is revictimised. Just the fear that a video or a photograph depicting sexual violence toward oneself might be spread makes it difficult to recover from a sexual crime.
