The Sun launched our Keep Our Kids Safe campaign when disgraced BBC presenter Huw Edwards avoided jail after being sent child abuse images and videos of the worst category.
NSPCC research found half of all offences took place on Snapchat, with 11 per cent on Instagram, seven per cent on Facebook and six per cent on WhatsApp.
Charities including the NSPCC and Barnardo’s have today written to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and Tech Secretary Peter Kyle demanding tougher action on the worst kinds of online abuse.
NSPCC chief Chris Sherwood said: “It is an outrage that in 2025 we are still seeing a blatant disregard from tech companies to prevent this illegal content from proliferating on their sites.”.
MORE than 100 child sex abuse image crimes are being recorded by police every day, research shows.
