It’s Time for Tech to Prioritize Child Safety.

We all want our children to be safe online. But big tech companies are not doing enough to install safety measures into their platforms to bring healing and justice to survivors of child sexual violence.

The technology to do so is available, but every day it’s not deployed children and young people suffer.

The Brave Movement is calling on some of the world’s richest, most powerful tech companies to protect survivors and children on their platforms, and we need your help. Join us in demanding tech companies:

Detect, report, and remove child sexual abuse images and videos from online storage services like iCloud, Google images, etc.
Ensure every update, feature and new product or game is designed with child safety in mind from the start.
Provide easily accessible reporting capabilities for evidence of online child sexual abuse.
Default users under 18 to the highest privacy settings.

What does a safe internet look like?

What does a

safe internet

look like?

Social media, technology and gaming companies are putting profit over children’s safety by building products and services that allow childhood sexual violence to rise up and flood our online spaces.

It doesn’t have to be this way! We have the tools to stop this flood and build defenses so that the internet becomes a secure place for children to learn, play and connect with friends – free from danger, safe from people who would prey on them. The internet could become our greatest tool in protecting children, capturing perpetrators and ending childhood sexual violence on and offline.

Tell us what a safe internet looks like to you – we will use your visions to inspire our campaigns!

An environment freed of cyberbullying, phishing, and the deploy of images of people without their consent.

A safe internet provides access to credible, age-appropriate information and opportunities for children, adolescents and youth to learn and explore; it’s a place where protection is prioritized over profit, and where service providers and platforms are held accountable for verifying users, protecting vulnerable user populations, detecting and removing harmful content, and aiding law enforcement in identifying those who perpetrate online sexual exploitation and abuse.
