Australia’s online safety regulator identified serious shortcomings in how major technology companies respond to online child sexual abuse. The watchdog said several platforms failed to detect known exploitation patterns.
The eSafety Commissioner found that online services were unable to identify established sexual extortion and coercion scripts used by offenders. The findings raised concerns about existing safety measures.
Australian authorities urged technology companies to strengthen detection systems and improve child protection efforts. The watchdog called for faster action to prevent online exploitation and better safeguard young users.
