If you encounter Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) online, please report it. Imagery or videos of a child engaged in sexual activity is not porn and making a report is the right thing to do.

Even if you are unsure you saw a child or if what you saw is illegal, we still ask you to report it. Your report could save a child victim from further abuse.

Reporting is helping

We understand that the material you've come across can be disturbing, but please take a moment to read this before taking any action. We will help you report to your country’s hotline or law enforcement in three easy steps.


Remember, reporting is a courageous act that speaks up for a victim who cannot.

Take a breath, leave the website open and do not share it with anyone.

The content may be shocking, but stay calm and resist the urge to close the website immediately. Instead, keep the website open and ready to send the URL to your national hotline or law enforcement agency after following steps 2 and 3. Do not share the content with anyone else, as sharing can harm the child involved and is illegal.

Are you unsure if you just saw Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) online?

If you are upset about what you have seen, please do not hesitate to talk to a professional.


CSAM has different legal definitions in different countries. The general rule defines CSAM as being "imagery or videos which show a person who is a child and engaged in or is depicted as being engaged in explicit sexual activity."

Even though you might be unsure if you have seen CSAM, we ask you to always make a report. A trained professional will review the material.

Report the URL that contains potentially illegal images or videos.

Find your country’s hotline or law enforcement agency below and follow the steps on their reporting form. This will usually include some basic information about the content and a space to insert the URL that contains the content.


When you report something to a hotline in your country, the hotline works indirectly/directly with law enforcement officials and internet service providers to get the content removed online. And remember, all reports can be made anonymously.
