Safe Internet surfing with an intelligent child-centred shield against harmful content

互联网提供了对恶意内容的高暴露，直接影响到儿童的安全。非法、暴力和色情内容仅举几例。互联网也助长了网络欺凌等网络受害者的行为，网络欺凌显然会对儿童(和成年人)造成严重的健康影响，包括有记录的自残和自杀案例。最近的研究表明，这个问题仍在继续，每四个儿童中就有一个接触到种族主义或仇恨信息，2017/18年度与在线性剥削有关的年轻人咨询会议超过2200次，比前一年增加了44%。因此，目前的解决方案显然是有问题的。该项目旨在用创新和智能的儿童安全盾牌取代当今使用的过时技术。其价值主张表现为更快的干预和更好的过滤能力，能够应对社交媒体上针对儿童的新威胁。该项目还旨在实现事件响应和更安全的互联网冲浪，而不必屏蔽流行的服务和网站。

The Internet provides high exposure to malicious content with direct impact on children's safety. Illicit, violent and pornographic material to name a few. The Internet is also an enabler for cyber victimisation such as cyberbullying evidently causing children (and adults) drastic and severe health implications including documented cases of self-harm and suicide. Recent studies show the problem continues with 1 in 4 children exposed to racist or hate messages and over 2,200 counselling sessions with young people took place in 2017/18 related to online sexual exploitation which is a 44% increase from the previous year. Hence, current solutions are clearly problematic.This project aims at superseding the obsolete techniques in use today with an innovative and intelligent child-safety shield. The value proposition is manifested by quicker intervention and better filtering capabilities with the ability to address emerging threats targeting children on social media. The project also aims at achieving incident response and safer Internet surfing without having to block popular services and websites.
