Block is proud to announce its new partnership with INHOPE, the global network of hotlines combating online child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
Block has demonstrated a strong and ongoing commitment to responsible technology and designing products with safety in mind, pioneering advanced detection systems within its products and actively participating in industry initiatives, including the Financial Sector Pilot of the Tech Coalition’s Lantern Project. As an integral part of the trust and safety ecosystem, Block works alongside leading child protection organizations, law enforcement agencies, and industry partners to advance collective efforts against online child exploitation. Block has contributed expertise through INHOPE's Expert Insights webinar series, the INHOPE Summit, and training sessions for the Universal Classification Schema, demonstrating a sustained commitment to knowledge exchange and cross-sector collaboration.
“We’re proud to support INHOPE by deepening this partnership. Protecting children online requires sustained, coordinated action, and we’re committed to advancing this work alongside partners who share that mission. Building a safer digital ecosystem is work none of us can do alone, and we look forward to contributing our expertise to strengthen the tools, standards, and collaboration needed to better detect, prevent, and disrupt online child sexual abuse.” – Megan Gonzales, Head of Compliance External Engagements & Intelligence.
“We’re pleased to formalize our partnership with Block, whose technical innovation and commitment to safety standards have already contributed meaningfully to the ecosystem combatting online child sexual abuse. Together with Block, INHOPE's network of hotlines and all our partners, we aim to strengthen the global infrastructure needed to disrupt illicit activity and protect children in the digital environment.” – Samantha Woolfe, Executive Director of INHOPE.
