Thoughtful Data Analysis
NCMEC
Emerging Policy Issues

  • G7 leaders call for shared responsibility for online safety

    June 17, 2026

     

    The leaders of the Group of 7 (G7) countries released a statement calling on governments, industry, parents/caregivers, and other stakeholders to each take steps to promote and ensure online safety, including protection from all forms of online child sexual exploitation.

     

    Rather than seeking child safety primarily through detection and disruption by online platforms, or age-gating by app store operators, or supervision by parents and caregivers, this strategy aligns with NCMEC’s advocacy for an “all of the above” approach, as articulated in NCMEC’s testimony before the U.S. Congress in March 2025.

  • UN Crime Commission adopts resolution countering sextortion

    June 5, 2026

     

    During the 35th session of the United Nations Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, Member States adopted a resolution on protecting children from transnational sexual extortion, or “sextortion.” NCMEC attended the session to provide subject matter expertise in support of the resolution, which calls for stronger international cooperation, enhanced victim protection, greater engagement with the private sector and improved efforts to identify and prosecute offenders.

     

    NCMEC was among more than 130 NGOs that attended the session, demonstrating their commitment to engagement on global policy issues.

  • 2025 CyberTipline data now available

    May 21, 2026

     

    New CyberTipline datasets—including July-December 2025 and the 2025 full calendar year—are now available on the Data Insights page (and on jurisdiction-specific pages). This update corresponds to the publication of NCMEC’s 2025 Impact Report and 2025 CyberTipline Report on NCMEC’s main website.

  • European Union ends voluntary CSAM detection

    April 3, 2026

     

    With the expiration of a temporary derogation on April 3, 2026, online platforms are no longer able to voluntarily detect and remove child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in the EU. When this prohibition first took effect (December 2020), NCMEC observed a reduction of about 58% in CyberTipline reports for EU jurisdictions until the enactment of the temporary derogation allowing continued voluntary detection. That measure was twice extended but has now ended.

     

    Governments should allow online platforms to use various strategies to detect, prevent, disrupt, and report as appropriate all types of online child sexual exploitation, even if as an exception to broader or more general prohibitions on content screening.

     

    NCMEC joins other advocates in calling on the EU to quickly adopt a comprehensive and permanent legal framework—including the restoration of voluntary detection measures—to address CSAM and other harms.

  • UNICEF: Global analysis of social media age restrictions

    March 13, 2026

     

    UNICEF has published a “rapid analysis” of enacted and proposed legislation regarding age-based restrictions on access to social media services, following its April 2025 policy note. Both documents are “designed to support countries exploring age-based limits for social media.”

  • NCMEC again testifies before U.S. Congress

    March 3, 2026

     

    On March 3, 2026, the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism held a hearing titled, “Lost and Exploited: Confronting Child Trafficking and the Failure to Protect America’s Most Vulnerable”—at which NCMEC testified about the intersection of child sexual abuse material and child sex trafficking. During the hearing, Senator Richard Durbin mentioned recently advanced legislation named for James T. Woods, the son of Tim and Tamia Woods who are featured on the Global Platform for Child Exploitation Policy sharing why they created the Do It For James Foundation.

    Being available for and participating in legislative hearings are important aspects of NCMEC’s policy and legislative advocacy. Other stakeholders should consider seeking similar access to help inform and advise legislative bodies in their respective jurisdictions.
