Author: Authority for Television On Demand Title: For Adults Only? Underage access to online porn Summary: The Authority for Television On Demand ("ATVOD") is the independent co-regulator for the editorial content of UK media services which have as their principal purpose the provision of 'tv-like' programmes on-demand. Statutory rules enforced by ATVOD include the requirement that a regulated service offering content which might seriously impair the development of under-18's can do so only if the material is made available in a way which secures that children and young people will not normally see or hear it. In common with others, ATVOD considers that 'hardcore porn' content comparable to the BBFC R18 classification 'might seriously impair' under 18's and consequently requires effective age verification measures and access control mechanisms on regulated UK based services to protect children and young teenagers, preventing their normally accessing this level of pornography. However, ATVOD is acutely aware of the limitations of this protection. Under-18's can still access internet hardcore porn provided by services based offshore. In many countries no comparable protection is required. ATVOD is powerless to take any action against those services, even though they may be directed at the UK, may be freely accessed by children of any age and may be among the most prolific providers of pornography which on a DVD could be sold only in a licensed sex shop in the UK. Some on-line providers offer content which would be banned altogether from distribution in Britain on DVD. Despite this, little is known about the scale of underage access to adult websites. ATVOD has therefore commissioned an analysis of research data held by Nielsen Netview in order to throw more light on the issue and to establish the extent to which the adult websites young people use are operated from (and therefore regulated in) the UK. Crucially, the figures are based on the actual online activity of a panel of approximately 45,000 UK internet users, using methodology broadly similar to the measurement of television viewing. This offers a significant advantage over other research: rather than basing findings on what respondents say they did, this study derives its data from measuring what participants actually did. However, despite this high level of veracity, it is very likely that the scale of use remains under-stated. This is because, for technical reasons, the research measures only online activity through a PC or laptop and excludes access though a smartphone, tablet or other device: the results are therefore likely to underestimate significantly the number of underage visits. The research reveals that - 44,000 primary school age children (aged 6 - 11) in the UK visited an adult website from a PC or laptop in December 2013. - The figure rises to 200,000 for children aged 6 - 15 and to 473,000 for those aged 6 - 17. - In all, one in twenty UK visitors to an adult website during that month was underage. - One website alone - Pornhub.com - was visited by 112,000 UK males aged 12 -17 using a PC or laptop in December 2013. Pornhub.com provides instant, free and unrestricted access to thousands of hardcore pornographic videos featuring explicit images of real sex. ATVOD has verified that 23 of the top 25 adult websites visited by UK internet users (including Pornhub.com) provide instant, free and unrestricted access to hardcore pornographic videos and still images featuring explicit images of real sex. The videos were equivalent to, or stronger than, those passed R18 by the British Board of Film Classification for DVD release. R18 DVDs can only be sold to adults who visit a licensed sex shop, yet the websites made equivalent (and stronger) material available to any visitor, of any age. The business model on which much of the international online adult industry operates revolves around offering unrestricted on-line access to hardcore pornography, free of charge, as a 'loss leader' designed to encourage users to sign up to pay-per-view or subscription services. Therefore, whilst ATVOD's interest lies in protecting under 18's from exposure to hardcore porn online, the data analysis included details on usage of adult websites by over 18's which may help inform the formulation of public policy initiatives. In particular the data revealed how the UK is clearly a significant market for the worldwide adult industry. A total of 9.4m people in the UK accessed an adult website at least once from a PC or laptop in December 2013. Those visitors spent on average 2 1/2 hrs on adult websites over 10 visits during that month - an average of 15 minutes per visit - and clocked up a total of more than 1.4 billion minutes.

Author: Internet Watch Foundation Title: Emerging Patterns and Trends Report #1. Youth-Produced Sexual Content Summary: This Paper introduces the key findings of a quantitative study of youth-produced sexual content online ('the Study'). The Study took place over a three month period between September and November 2014 and used a combination of proactively sourced content from search engines, historic IWF data and leads from public reports to locate "youth-produced sexual content" depicting "young people". Where the content was assessed as meeting these criteria the content was analysed in accordance with IWF's standard procedures for actioning child sexual abuse content, capturing data about each image/video including image category, site type, commerciality, hosting location, device used to create the content and the assessed age and gender of the individuals depicted. During the course of the Study, 3,803 images and videos were assessed as meeting the research criteria. The key findings of the Study were as follows: - 17.5% of content depicted children aged 15 years or younger. - 85.9% of content depicting children aged 15 or younger was created using a webcam. - 93.1% of the content depicting children aged 15 or younger featured girls. - 46.9% of content depicting children aged 15 years or younger was Category A or B5 compared to 27.6% of content in the 16-20 years age range. - 89.9% of the total images and videos assessed as part of the Study had been harvested from the original upload location and were being redistributed on third party websites. The Study was carried out by Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) in partnership with Microsoft and was initially designed to expand upon an earlier study carried out by IWF in 2012 which provided a snapshot of the availability of self-generated sexual content featuring young people online and the extent to which control over that content is lost once it has appeared online. However, on analysis of the data it became apparent that the scope of the 2012 study and the definition of "self-generated sexual content" as used therein was inadequate in describing the observed trends. This was particularly the case in relation to methods of creation of the content and age of many of the individuals depicted. What emerged from the data in this Study is an increasing trend for the distribution of sexually explicit content produced by younger children using laptop webcams which, due to the nature of the technology used, they are aware is being shared with at least one other party. To reflect this finding, we instead propose a new definition of "youth-produced sexual content" as: "Nude or semi-nude images or videos produced by a young person of themselves engaging in erotic or sexual activity and intentionally shared by any electronic means."
