Each day, the IWF claim to remove 500 urls each day with each of these contributing thousands of images each which they claim can be drastically cut further with the release of their hash lists to other services.

Five of the biggest Internet companies are collaborating with a watchdog organization to more effectively ban child pornography.

Mega internet monopolies, including Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Twitter and Yahoo are taking on pedophiles by applying a system that automatically blocks images of under aged sexual abuse.

In a UK first, anti-abuse organisation Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) has begun sharing lists of indecent images, identified by unique “hash” codes. The company searches abusive pictures across the Internet, assigning each picture to a distinct identifier that it refers to as hash. Google, Facebook and Twitter will also help in preventing any pornographic images to be uploaded.

Many different Internet companies could potentially make use of the hashed list, IWF said Monday in its announcement.

The effort allows for potentially larger numbers of images to be blocked on some of the Internet’s most trafficked sites.

When combined with data from the Home Office’s new Child Abuse Image Database, the new image hash list means that the IWF has the potential to deal with millions of images much more effectively.

The IWF retains a document of all of the hashes, which it has exclusively shared with the 5 tech corporations up to now, however plans to roll out to others quickly.

IWF works with web giants to eliminate child sexual abuse images.

At a summit with internet firms and experts in Whitehall in December, David Cameron announced a new criminal offence of sexual communication with a child is to be created, closing a loophole in the law. They are known as Microsoft’s PhotoDNA, SHA-1 and MD5. Going around the automated blocking system will be possible by image manipulation to rapidly change its hash tag, but it is a step on the right direction. IWF said that eligible companies will soon be able to see the “hash list”.

The next step for the IWF is developing a system for videos, something which the charity says it is already working on with a key partner.

The sharing of the file hashes will facilitate the locating and deleting of child pornography from their services.
