Supreme Court directs national CSEAM database and private-by-default accounts for children

The Supreme Court has directed the creation of a national database of digital identifiers and URLs of child sexual exploitation and abuse material, so platforms and law enforcement can detect and remove it across services. Entries must pass multiple tiers of verification, with final screening by at least three trained human analysts, and intermediaries must report the detection tools they use. The court also called for a child-safety blueprint including private-by-default accounts, restrictions on contact from unknown adults, and moderation of advertisements and content shown to children.
