\u201cTake It Down,\u201d <\/a>a free online service run by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), is helping remove sexually explicit images or videos depicting children under age 18. And NCMEC\u2019s work is paying off: Since \u201cTake It Down\u201d launched in December 2022, more than 200 cases have been resolved. The process works by assigning a unique digital fingerprint, or hash value, to specific images or videos. Participating tech platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Pornhub, and OnlyFans, use the hash values to detect and remove the disturbing imagery from their sites. Individuals also can submit a request to remove explicit visual content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A new state law in Utah\u2014designed to improve the criteria for issuing AMBER Alerts\u2014went into effect May 3. Representative Ryan Wilcox of Ogden sponsored HB266<\/a> which prohibits law enforcement from issuing AMBER Alerts for runaways or child custody disputes unless the child faces a credible threat of imminent danger. Wilcox told<\/a> KSL.com that the overuse of AMBER Alerts has caused people to opt out of receiving the alerts or ignore them, which diminishes their effectiveness. Utah Governor Spencer Cox signed the bill into law in March.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In May 2023, Texas lawmakers approved HB3556<\/a>, which would allow law enforcement to immediately notify people within a 100-mile radius as soon as a child goes missing. The \u201cAthena Alert\u201d bill is named for 7-year-old Athena Strand<\/a>, who was kidnapped and killed last year by a FedEx driver who made a delivery to her Wise County home. The bill aims to close the gap between when a child is reported missing and when the child\u2019s case meets state criteria for an AMBER Alert (for a confirmed abduction). The bill awaits Governor Greg Abbott\u2019s signature into law.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
