The AIC has released new research undertaken by the University of Tasmania. This research investigated methods that multiple sectors should adopt to implement online warning messages for the prevention of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) offending. The study concluded:

• From a technical perspective, there is considerable opportunity to implement online warning messages that prevent CSAM offending.
• The best approach requires the cooperation of multiple actors within the technology industry, and the implementation of measures by account holders.
• The premise of this cybersecurity-based approach is that, if a single layer of defence fails, the other layers of defence can still provide protection and prevent offending.
