IWF (Internet Watch Foundation)

The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) is a UK-based organization that works to keep the internet safe by identifying and removing illegal content, such as child sexual abuse material. They maintain a secure database of URLs hosting such content, which internet service providers and platforms can use to block access, preventing widespread distribution. The IWF collaborates with law enforcement, technology companies, and other stakeholders to promote online safety and ensure that harmful material is quickly addressed, helping to protect vulnerable individuals and uphold legal and ethical standards online.
