However, what the New York Times articles principally showed was the inadequacy of the wider internet industry’s response and indeed the inadequacy of the response of some of the industry’s leading actors. Shocking though these numbers are, probably what they demonstrate is simply the increased proactive deployment and effectiveness of tools used to detect csam by a comparatively small number of internet companies. The Canadian Centre for Child Protection and the UK’s Internet Watch Foundation have witnessed similar increases. We were informed in a later article in 2013 fewer than 50,000 csam videos had been reported whereas in 2018 it was up to 22 million. 2018’s number was 18.4 million, referencing 45 million still pictures and videos of csam. In 1998 NCMEC received 3,000 reports of csam. They started with statistics supplied by National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). In September the New York Times produced the first in a series of articles in which they focused on the internet industry’s response to the explosive growth in the detection of online child sex abuse material (csam).
