(🤍 Nova, 💜 Marielle) Since today is International Missing Children's Day, we remind everyone that some countries require entities to report missing children, child exploitation, and child sexual abuse (including materials of such abuse - i.e. CSAM), especially online. this includes regular users (not just community moderators) and is not restricted to reporting suh behavior/material on fedi - if you see signs of children being trafficked and/or sexually abused, you are required to report it as appropriately to the appropriate agency(/ies) in your jurisdiction,

(💜) for those in the US specifically, federal law requires you to report missing and exploited children, Child Sexual Abuse Materials, and child traficking operations to the authorities - the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) offers the CiberTipline to report CSAM, online spaces for CSA and child trafficking.

(🤍) Dear fellow Community Admins: Marielle and I highely suggest you and your team to review your mandatory reporting procedures related to CSA/CSAM for not only your fedi instances, but also any off-platform communities (on Discord, Matrix, XMPP, otyer online platforms, and even IRL spaces).

(💜) for any community moderators and admins who want to help educate your community members into making your community safer, you can educate members on how to report missing children and child exploitation in relevant jurisdictions.

(🤍, 💜) We hope this reminder and these tips are useful for community staff and members alike. If anyone wants to share more tips, feel free to provide them in a reply. ​​
