“It is very important that tech companies detect and report any sexual abuse of children by users on their platforms.”
In their response to the Senate Hearing, Ruby* and Joy*, survivors of online child sexual abuse shared that “The most important thing for you to know is that when people pay for children to be sexually abused online, including in live-streamed videos, the experience is virtual for them, but it is very real for the young girls and boys posed in front of cameras. It hurts us physically and mentally. While we have healed from our trauma, it is a wound we will live with forever.”
