Globe has greatly committed itself to internet safety by forbading non-photographic imagery (NPI) of child sexual assault, which includes content made by artificial intelligence, CGI, animation, cartoons, and other non-live ways. This step fits the company’s larger plan to fight negative web postings.
Globe blacklisted 343 URLs and 16 domains with flagged NPI content between August 27 and September 27, 2024. This project is carried out in cooperation with the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), a company acknowledged for its efforts to counteract such material. The IWF underlines that viewers may suffer long-term damage even from unintentional contact to these items.
Globe’s Chief Information Security Officer and Chief AI Officer, Anton Bonifacio, underlined the company’s commitment to provide a safer digital environment especially for children. “Our strengthened efforts to prohibit access to harmful content, including NPI, highlight our resolve to protecting children from online sexual exploitation,” he said.
This behavior complements Globe’s #MakeITSafePH campaign, meant to fight internet child sexual abuse and exploitation. To identify and stop access to unlawful content, the corporation has spent more than $2.7 million on advanced content screening technologies. Globe blacklisted 2,726 domains connected to illicit gambling sites in the first half of 2024 and blocked 1,718 domains and 190, 167 URLs connected to child sexual exploitation.
Globe’s policies align with Republic Act 9775, the Anti-Child Pornography Act of 2009, which mandates ISPs to employ technology blocking of child pornography.
