Big Tech and the Online Child Sexual Exploitation Crisis (QFR Responses)

QuestionWhy does Meta report such a high volume (30M+ in 2023) of child sexual exploitation cases to NCMEC?

ResponseMeta attributes the high NCMEC volume mostly to repeat/duplicate reporting of the same content (over 90% duplicative; six videos = half of reports) and to its own high detection rate at scale, not to a proportionally high volume of unique victims; it cites an internal intent-taxonomy study finding 75%+ of uploaders lacked malicious intent.
