Activated at 9:20am EST following an event in Trescore Balneario. Hashes of the perpetrator-produced video and images qualify for the shared database, so member platforms can find the same content on their own services and act on it under their own policies.
Respond: Pull the hashes, sweep for re-uploads, and check the escalation path held.
Who it reaches
It reaches user-to-user, livestreaming, messaging and 2 other service types with users in the EU, at any size. Any service where perpetrator content can be uploaded or streamed.
Lands on T&S Operations, Policy & Standards and Engineering.
