The campaign will work with private and public sector partners to combat rising rates of child exploitation and abuse online.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced Wednesday a public awareness campaign to address online child exploitation and abuse that he called an 'unimaginable horror.' 'We just have to raise awareness and teach children, and everyone around them, how to recognize the predators, when they are about to be victimized, how to protect themselves and what to do,' Mayorkas said on 'CBS Mornings' on Wednesday.
Meta's Global Head of Safety Antigone Davis said on 'CBS Mornings' that while the tech company takes a number of measures to prevent the abuse online, they hope to work with parents and partners to help protect kids further.'We're not trying to pass the buck to parents, but we all need to work together — whether that's DHS, whether it's us, whether it's parents to help protect kids online.
