Recent reports highlight a disturbing trend of child exploitation on the internet, with over 50,000 unidentified children being exploited on the dark web, as noted by RepLuna in appreciation of advocacy efforts by the Tebow Foundation, Tim Tebow, and Camille Cooper. They are looking forward to introducing legislation soon regarding preventing CSAM. The UK emerges as a significant contributor to this issue, being the second-largest perpetrator of live-streamed child abuse, directed by its residents, as stated by SarahChampionMP. An extensive investigation has uncovered over 100,000 pedophiles in the US and UK involved in an 'international enterprise,' leading to the takedown of The Annex, one of the largest child pornography websites globally, involving a U.S. Army vet and father of three. This website served as a meeting point for pedophiles to share millions of videos and pictures of child sex abuse. Cassie, a survivor, leader, and advisor to IJM on preventing live-streaming of child abuse, highlighted the boundary-less nature of the internet and abuse. Authorities and technology companies are challenged by the global network of predators targeting children on major platforms, grooming, and extorting them to commit abuse, as reported by WIRED, WIREDBusiness, and the Washington Post. An analysis of over 3 million Discord and Telegram chats across more than 50 groups reveals the extensive reach of these predators, with 1.3-1.6% of U.K. residents thought to direct and watch this abuse.

Chairing a roundtable on live streaming of child abuse. The U.K. is the 2nd largest perpetrator after the US. They literally direct the abuse of some of the most vulnerable children in the world. We can, and must, do more to prevent it. TY @IJM
