[INVISION COMMUNITY INSIDER] CSAM scanning is now available for Invision Community

[NewsBot]

We're pleased to announce that CSAM scanning is now available at no extra cost.

What is CSAM scanning?

CSAM stands for Child Sexual Abuse Material. The media served by your community will be scanned to identify any matches in a central CSAM database. These lists are provided by leading child safety advocacy groups, such as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

CSAM scanning is now recommended to increase compliance in many areas, and you can rest assured that Invision Community will now block any harmful media from being shown in your community. Moderating large communities can be challenging when your members are able to upload photos, and this scanning tool offers great peace of mind.

What about privacy?

Rest assured that privacy is paramount to Invision Community. CSAM scanning is not an AI tool, and neither does it mean media on your site is being shared with third parties for review. Each photo or video is assigned a digital fingerprint, which is checked against a known database. If there is a match, the photo is blocked from being viewed.

What happens if there is a match?

If we detect a match for CSAM, the media is blocked from being shown. We will then remove the offending media and, where possible, block the person who uploaded the material.

This tool is designed to help you, as an Invision Community owner, moderate your community and protect you from unwittingly sharing CSAM.

We hope you never have a member upload such material, but it's reassuring to know that your site will not be complicit in its sharing. By identifying and blocking bad actors' access across our network, we can pre-emptively protect you, too.

Can I opt out?

No, there is no way to opt out. This scanning service offers great peace of mind, protects you from harmful material being shared, helps compliance and prevents bad actors from accessing other communities.

Note: this service is not available for Invision Community Classic.
