Why Not Filter for These Hashtags?

January 4, 2019

This is one of our DarkCyber news items.

The DarkCyber research time noted some of the child porn hashtags. A list was released by the Child Rescue Coalition. If  you are a sworn law enforcement office, complete the form and request the full list.

In the news reports about the CRC’s list, we compiled some of the words and phrases used to allow bad actors to locate child porn.

Here’s a partial list of hashtags:

There are, of course, numerous variations, which should be relatively easy to map to an old school filter—unless of course the service doesn’t want to lose ad revenue or invest developer time in this offensive exploitation of indexing terms.

Several thoughts:

  1. Services should filter for these terms, note the individual or handle using the hashtag, and compile that data. The information may be useful to law enforcement.
  2. Why are social media services not blocking these hashtags? DarkCyber knows that bad actors will cook up new terms or use emoji combinations, but mapping the tags to identities may be useful in some investigations.
  3. These terms strike DarkCyber as obvious? What other hashtags are in use?

These “in plain sight” index terms are available to anyone with an Internet connection. No Dark Web, Tails, or Whonix required.
