StopNCII.org
Since its launch by SWGfL and Meta, StopNCII.org has been hailed for its pioneering use of technology, using world-first hashing to protect individual’s intimate content from being shared online. The innovative technology behind StopNCII.org ensures user privacy is protected throughout the process, something which hadn’t been achieved beforehand.
