A report details Pornhub UK’s multi-year trial of pop-up warnings and an Internet Watch Foundation/Lucy Faithfull Foundation chatbot to deter searches for child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Over the period, 4.4 million warnings were shown and the chatbot appeared 2.8 million times, with findings indicating a meaningful reduction in CSAM-related searches and some users seeking support. While 99% of overall searches did not trigger warnings, the intervention suggests deterrence messaging can help reduce CSAM-seeking behavior on the platform.
