This. This right here gives me hope. It's not something Google has to do, but they know it is the right thing. They can save hundreds and possibly thousands of children.
Google's plan is to build a database of child *advertiser censored* images that will let these groups (LE, tech companies,etc) swap information, collaborate, and remove the images from the Web.
"Part of the technology behind this database comes from a technique Google already uses called "hashing," which tags images showing sexual abuse of children with a unique identification code. Computers can recognize the code and then locate, block, and report all duplicate images on the Web. Google plans to have the database up and running within a year."
"Google also announced Saturday that it is donating $5 million to fight child *advertiser censored*. The money will be split up between global child protection organizations like the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, and Google's own Child Protection Technology Fund."
