You shut down the laptop and watch the screen go black. What we’ve learned together has been shocking.
But the criminals haven’t won. Far from it.
Where there are the worst crimes, there is also the strongest resolve. While we see appalling abuse, we know there is also hope.
In this, the final episode of Pixels from a Crime Scene, we set our sights on the future.
A new, talented tech-savvy generation could hold the key to making the internet safe again for everyone, while an “army of digital detectives” could turn the tide against those who would exploit and abuse children. It is already happening.
The Internet Watch Foundation is leading the charge to rid the internet of child sexual abuse material, and it is not alone. We know we can only do this if governments, companies, charities, law enforcement, and people all work together.
We know it is possible. We know we can do it.

The industry can't solve it alone (Episode 5)
Behind the screen, a battle is raging. You can’t see it. You may not even know it’s taking place. That’s the point.
The Internet Watch Foundation works hard to make sure you never see some of the worst images of children being sexually abused. Every day, they see these videos, and they fight to get them taken down, and they work with governments, businesses, and law enforcement all around the world to make sure criminals have no place to hide.
But could things be about to get worse?
In this episode of Pixels from a Crime Scene, we explore what tech companies are doing in the global battle against child sexual abuse material, and how new online encryption could expose millions more to some of the worst material on the internet.
