Safer Internet Plus
From Saferpedia
Safer Internet Plus is a European programme designed for European children and youngsters that use the Internet. Their policy is to "make the Internet safer for Europe's children"
Today, young people and children are some of Europe's biggest users of online and mobile technologies. Together with the raising popularity of these new technologies the numbers of risks that young people and children may face when they are surfing online is also growing.
One of the main aims at the Safer Internet Programme is fighting against illegal content and especially against child abuse material online. In order to achieve this objective, in addition to the hotlines run by the Safer Internet centers, the Safer Internet Programme has been funding projects such as:
- CIRCAMP the thematic network for international law enforcement co-operation;
- I-Dash, The Investigator's Dashboard which aims at proving the feasibility of a European database with known child pornography and a standard for efficient data exchange between the various national police forces;
- MAPAP, a project that measures and analyzes the peer to peer activity against pedophile content;
- ICSEDB the INTERPOL International Child Sexual Exploitation Image Database, whose aim is the prevention and detection of offences of sexual abuse against children through the identification of victims and abusers;
- FIVES which will develop a self-contained tools set that will focus on speed and efficient execution to help in police investigations of large amount of data.
