Protect Children has published its "Preventative Pathways" report, which includes findings from a real-world study on how warning messages are used to interrupt searches for child sexual abuse material online.

This report presents findings from one of the largest real world studies of warning messages used to interrupt searches for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online.  It examines how warning messages shown during CSAM related searches can influence behaviour and redirect individuals towards anonymous support resources. The findings demonstrate that even small changes to warning message design can create meaningful impact at scale.
