Other news
We recently collaborated with the Internet Watch Foundation and Aylo, and tested whether using warnings and a chatbot could deter people from searching for sexual images of children.
Our findings indicated:
- a reduction in searches for sexual images of children
- a high deterrence rate as just one warning from the chatbot was enough to stop people in 82% of sessions (periods of time spent on the website) from continuing their search for illegal content.
