Report Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) and Suspected Exploitation
The fight against online child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is a shared global responsibility. If you encounter any material that depicts or suggests the exploitation of children — or if you suspect someone may be engaging in this type of abuse — it is critical that you report it immediately. Never share or screenshot suspected CSAM. Instead, report directly to the appropriate authorities.
When making a report, include:
- The URL or platform where the material appears (do not download or screenshot).
- The approximate time and date you saw the content.
- Any usernames or identifying information that was visible.
All reports are confidential and can be made anonymously. If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local law enforcement agency without delay.
