Today’s technology companies are responsible for mitigating risk and harm to their users by using proven trust and safety policies, practices and tools to support them. ActiveFence provides trust and safety teams and online integrity professionals at some of the largest digital platforms with the intelligence, technology and expertise to cultivate a safer online world. The company protects the public from CSAM, as well as disinformation, terror, hate speech, fraud, and other online harms.
“CSAM is a global problem that requires both public and private organizations to partner together to eradicate. ActiveFence is preventing users from being exposed to this heinous content, while working with INHOPE and their global partners to report and takedown CSAM,” said Amit Dar, Senior Director, ActiveFence. “We’re excited to collaborate with INHOPE in this fight.”
Partnerships like these are essential to eliminate CSAM online by taking a unique, proactive approach to identify harmful content before it gets to internet platforms.
