The Hungarian Biztonsagosinternet.hu hotline has received many reports from children and young people about intimate images being shared online without their consent. These cases are often very distressing, as it’s difficult for them to stop the spread of these photos. To help with this, we now recommend the "Take It Down" service, which helps young people remove harmful images from the internet. In support of this, we’ve recently entered into a partnership to promote the initiative more widely.

The presence of content depicting child sexual abuse is a serious problem that has found its way into the digital sphere. The huge reach and resources of the large tech companies mean that they play a decisive role in combating the spread of this content.

Biztonsagosinternet.hu has launched its Annual Report, which highlights the hotline’s efforts to protect children and young people against all forms of violence, especially CSAM, and other emerging trends. The hotline report expresses Biztonsagosinternet.hu’s commitment to create a safer digital environment in which children’s fundamental rights are respected.

In 2023, there was a strong focus on awareness-raising activity: our long-term priority was to raise awareness about the latest trends and phenomena. To this end, we take part in conferences and forums organized by LEA.

As parents, many people think that their children are completely safe when they are in their own home...

All children deserve to grow up in a safe and caring environment, but many do not have the opportunity to do so. The harsh reality is that sexual exploitation and abuse is a serious risk for many children around the world.

In today’s digital world, the time children spend online and in front of a screen has a strong influence on their emotional and social development. The content children consume can be controlled for a relatively long period of their lives and then influenced to varying degrees, so we, as parents, have a responsibility to do so.

As the digital world develops, it becomes more and more part of our daily lives. It makes our lives easier and offers a mine of opportunities, but it also entails significant drawbacks and dangers. As children become more immersed in the online world, their exposure to a variety of threats raises concerns. Online banking scams may not immediately spring to mind as the greatest danger, but they are no exception.

In our digital world, the internet has opened countless opportunities for people of all ages, including children, to communicate, learn and enjoy themselves. However, it has also brought new challenges, one of which is cyberbullying.
