6. Co-funded By the European Union What are Internet Hotlines? National contact point for the public to report illegal content on the Internet including “Child Sexual Abuse Material” The process: Member of the public finds internet content that they feel may be illegal They want to tell someone but are afraid to tell the police – why? This is where Hotlines come into focus. The member of the public tells the Hotline (anonymously – if they wish) Hotline investigate the content reported using trained analysts. If found to be illegal the origin of the content is traced If it is hosted in the same jurisdiction then the Hotline work domestically If hosted in a different jurisdiction the report will be passed to the INHOPE hotline in that country – this is the important bit – why?

7. Co-funded By the European Union Who are Internet Hotlines? Organisations with a shared objective of tackling online Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) There are two Hotlines in Hungary:- Theodore Puskas Foundation – Mr Birkas Bence National Media and Info communications Authority – Mr Gabor Nemeth Both organisations became INHOPE members in April 2012

8. Co-funded By the European Union The Network Hotlines operate in their own jurisdiction within their own borders. The Internet has no borders and invariably content always seems to be somewhere else. The INHOPE network allows Hotlines to securely exchange reports internationally with other Hotlines. Each Hotline operates to INHOPE best practice with similar training. Each Hotline has contacts with law enforcement and industry to ensure rapid response to a valid report
