Five years ago,

五年前，

I received a phone call that would change my life.

我接到了一个改变我人生的电话。

I remember so vividly that day.

我至今还能清晰的记起那天，

It was about this time of year,

大概是那年的这个时候，

and I was sitting in my office.

我正在办公室坐着。

I remember the sun streaming through the window.

我记得阳光透过窗户照射进来，

And my phone rang.

然后电话响了，

And I picked it up,

我接起电话，

and it was two federal agents, asking for my help

是两个联邦调查局特工， 想要我帮助他们

in identifying a little girl

确认一个

featured in hundreds of child sexual abuse images they had found online.

出现在网络数百张儿童 性侵图片中的小女孩身份。

They had just started working the case,

他们刚开始调查这个案件，

but what they knew

但他们知道

was that her abuse had been broadcast to the world for years

这个女孩被性侵的过程已 通过儿童性侵主题的暗网

on dark web sites dedicated to the sexual abuse of children.

散播到世界各地多年。

And her abuser was incredibly technologically sophisticated:

她的施虐者技术非常老道：

new images and new videos every few weeks,

每几周都有新的照片和视频流出，

but very few clues as to who she was

但几乎没法找到线索 来确认小女孩是谁，

or where she was.

或是她在哪。

And so they called us,

于是他们打电话给我，

because they had heard we were a new nonprofit

因为他们听说我们是个 新的专注于搭建技术

building technology to fight child sexual abuse.

来阻止儿童性侵的非营利组织。

But we were only two years old,

但是我们只成立了两年，

and we had only worked on child sex trafficking.

还仅仅在与儿童性交易抗争。

And I had to tell them

所以我只能告诉他们

we had nothing.

我们无能为力。

We had nothing that could help them stop this abuse.

我们没有任何办法 来帮助他们阻止这场性侵。

It took those agents another year

那些特工又用了一年

to ultimately find that child.

才终于找到了那个孩子。

And by the time she was rescued,

然而等到她被获救时，

hundreds of images and videos documenting her rape had gone viral,

那些记录她被强暴的 上百图像和视频早已被大肆传播，

from the dark web

从那个暗网

to peer-to-peer networks, private chat rooms

传到P2P网络上，私人聊天室中，

and to the websites you and I use

以及你我每天都在使用

every single day.

的互联网上。

And today, as she struggles to recover,

现在，当她在努力康复的时候，

she lives with the fact that thousands around the world

同时也要接受一个事实：

世界上有成千上万的网民仍会 继续看她被性侵的内容。

continue to watch her abuse.

I have come to learn in the last five years

在这五年中，我逐渐了解到，

that this case is far from unique.

这样的儿童性侵案件绝不罕见。

How did we get here as a society?

我们的社会怎么变成了这样？

In the late 1980s, child pornography --

在1980年末，儿童色情片，

or what it actually is, child sexual abuse material --

或从本质上说，儿童性侵的内容

was nearly eliminated.

几乎已经销声匿迹了。

New laws and increased prosecutions made it simply too risky

新出台的法律和增加的诉讼

使得通过邮件进行此类交易风险过高，

to trade it through the mail.

And then came the internet, and the market exploded.

但随后由于互联网的出现，这一市场 又死灰复燃，开始呈爆炸式增长。

The amount of content in circulation today

如今在网上流通的内容量

is massive and growing.

巨大且增长迅速。

This is a truly global problem,

这是一个切实的全球性问题，

but if we just look at the US:

但倘若我们仅聚焦美国：

in the US alone last year,

去年，仅在美国就有

more than 45 million images and videos of child sexual abuse material

超过4500万儿童性侵 的图像和视频内容

were reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children,

被举报至国家失踪与受虐儿童中心，

and that is nearly double the amount the year prior.

且较前一年，这数字几乎翻倍。

And the details behind these numbers are hard to contemplate,

我们更是难以想象 这些数字背后的细节真相：

with more than 60 percent of the images featuring children younger than 12,

超过60%的图像 拍摄的是不到12岁的孩子，

and most of them including extreme acts of sexual violence.

而且大多包含极端性暴力行为。

Abusers are cheered on in chat rooms dedicated to the abuse of children,

虐待者在专门讨论虐待儿童 的聊天室里颇受欢迎，

where they gain rank and notoriety

随着更强的侵犯 和更多受害者的出现，

with more abuse and more victims.

他们在那里的排名和地位就更高。

In this market,

在这个市场中，

the currency has become the content itself.

内容本身就是货币。

It's clear that abusers have been quick to leverage new technologies,

显然，施暴者 一直在快速掌握新技术，

but our response as a society has not.

但是我们作为一个社会整体 的回应却严重滞后。

These abusers don't read user agreements of websites,

这些施暴者不会阅读 网站的用户协议，

and the content doesn't honor geographic boundaries.

而且内容也不分国界。

And they win when we look at one piece of the puzzle at a time,

当我们每次只关注一小块拼图时， 那些施暴者就赢了，

which is exactly how our response today is designed.

而这正是今天我们对策的设计原理。

Law enforcement works in one jurisdiction.

执法工作仅在一个司法管辖区进行，

Companies look at just their platform.

企业只专注于他们自己的平台，

And whatever data they learn along the way

不论他们收集到什么数据

is rarely shared.

都几乎很少分享。

It is so clear that this disconnected approach is not working.

很明显这种彼此隔离的方法 根本不起作用。

We have to redesign our response to this epidemic

我们必须为数字化时代下 儿童性侵的大范围蔓延

for the digital age.

重新制定对策。

And that's exactly what we're doing at Thorn.

这正是我们索恩 (Thorn) 公司所做的。

We're building the technology to connect these dots,

我们建造连接那些端点的技术，

to arm everyone on the front lines --

武装前线的每个用户——

law enforcement, NGOs and companies --

执法机构，非政府组织和企业，

with the tools they need to ultimately eliminate

为他们装备最终消灭

child sexual abuse material from the internet.

网上儿童性侵内容所需的工具。

Let's talk for a minute --

我来详细解释一下。

(Applause)

（掌声）

Thank you.

谢谢。

(Applause)

（掌声）

Let's talk for a minute about what those dots are.

让我们谈谈那些端点是什么。

As you can imagine, this content is horrific.

可以想像，这些内容 令人不悦且恐怖。

If you don't have to look at it, you don't want to look at it.

如果没必要看到这个内容， 那你肯定不会想要看。

And so, most companies or law enforcement agencies

于是，大部分持有此内容 的企业或执法机构

that have this content

都可以将每个文件

can translate every file into a unique string of numbers.

转化为唯一的数字字符串，

This is called a "hash."

我们称之为“哈希”。

It's essentially a fingerprint

它本质上是

for each file or each video.

每一个文件或视频 的特定“数字指纹”。

And what this allows them to do is use the information in investigations

这允许他们使用调查中的信息，

or for a company to remove the content from their platform,

或者从自家平台上移除这一内容，

without having to relook at every image and every video each time.

而无需每次重复观看 每一个图像和视频。

The problem today, though,

不过当今的问题是，

is that there are hundreds of millions of these hashes

现在有上亿哈希值

sitting in siloed databases all around the world.

散落在世界各地独立的数据库中。

In a silo,

在一个数据库中，

it might work for the one agency that has control over it,

它可能对一个 拥有控制权的代理商有效，

but not connecting this data means we don't know how many are unique.

但是无法连接这些数据，这意味着 我们无从知晓有多少哈希是唯一的。

We don't know which ones represent children who have already been rescued

我们不知道哪些代表 “已经被救出的孩子”，

or need to be identified still.

哪些代表仍旧“需要辨识身份”。

So our first, most basic premise is that all of this data

因此我们第一个最基础的假定是，

must be connected.

所有数据都必须连接起来。

There are two ways where this data, combined with software on a global scale,

在全球范围内，有两个方法 可以将数据和软件结合起来，

can have transformative impact in this space.

从而在这个领域产生变革性影响。

The first is with law enforcement:

第一个方法是与执法机构合作：

helping them identify new victims faster,

帮助他们更快辨识新受害者身份，

stopping abuse

停止性侵行为，

and stopping those producing this content.

并阻止施虐者制作此类媒体内容。

The second is with companies:

第二个方法是和公司合作：

using it as clues to identify the hundreds of millions of files

在今天的内容流通中使用它 来作为识别数百万文件

in circulation today,

的线索，

pulling it down

并在这些文件

and then stopping the upload of new material before it ever goes viral.

能被大肆传播前 阻止这些新文件的上传。

Four years ago,

四年前，

when that case ended,

那个案件结案时，

our team sat there, and we just felt this, um ...

我们整个团队有一种……

... deep sense of failure, is the way I can put it,

深深的挫败感，可以这么说，

because we watched that whole year

因为在联邦特工 找寻这女孩的下落时，

while they looked for her.

我们也关注了 这个案件一整年。

And we saw every place in the investigation

我们看了每个被调查的地方，

where, if the technology would have existed,

那时如果相关技术已经存在，

they would have found her faster.

他们本可以更快的找到她。

And so we walked away from that

于是我们从那个案件回归工作，

and we went and we did the only thing we knew how to do:

做了一件我们知道如何去做的事：

we began to build software.

我们开始开发软件技术。

So we've started with law enforcement.

我们从执法机构入手。

Our dream was an alarm bell on the desks of officers all around the world

我们的梦想就是在世界上每个警官 的桌面上放置一个“警铃”，

so that if anyone dare post a new victim online,

如果哪个人敢在网上 发布新受害者的媒体材料，

someone would start looking for them immediately.

那么某个警官 就能立刻开始寻找他们。

I obviously can't talk about the details of that software,

显然我无法介绍我们软件的细节，

but today it's at work in 38 countries,

但是截止到今天， 它已运用于38个国家，

having reduced the time it takes to get to a child

令警方找到孩子的所用时间

by more than 65 percent.

缩短超过65%。

(Applause)

（掌声）

And now we're embarking on that second horizon:

现在，我们开启了第二阶段：

building the software to help companies identify and remove this content.

开发软件以帮助企业 识别和移除此类媒体内容。

Let's talk for a minute about these companies.

让我们说一下这些企业。

So, I told you -- 45 million images and videos in the US alone last year.

我刚才说了，去年光在美国就有 4500万个儿童性侵的图像和视频。

Those come from just 12 companies.

它们仅仅来自于12个企业平台。

Twelve companies, 45 million files of child sexual abuse material.

12个企业， 4500万儿童性侵的媒体内容。

These come from those companies that have the money

这些还只是那些有足够资金

to build the infrastructure that it takes to pull this content down.

建立基础设施 来移除这些内容的公司。

But there are hundreds of other companies,

但是成百上千的其他企业，

small- to medium-size companies around the world,

尤其是全球范围的中小型公司，

that need to do this work,

需要在这方面下功夫，

but they either: 1) can't imagine that their platform would be used for abuse,

但是他们要么无法想象 自己的企业平台会被利用，

or 2) don't have the money to spend on something that is not driving revenue.

要么没有资金去支持无利润业务。

So we went ahead and built it for them,

所以我们主动去帮他们搭建。

and this system now gets smarter with the more companies that participate.

现在，随着更多公司的加入， 我们的系统正变得更加智能。

Let me give you an example.

举个例子，

Our first partner, Imgur -- if you haven't heard of this company,

我们第一个合作伙伴，Imgur， 你可能没有听说过这个公司，

it's one of the most visited websites in the US --

它是美国访问量最高的网站之一，

millions of pieces of user-generated content uploaded every single day,

每天有用户生产 的数百万内容被上传，

in a mission to make the internet a more fun place.

目的是为了让互联网 变成一个更加有趣的地方。

They partnered with us first.

他们最早和我们合作。

Within 20 minutes of going live on our system,

在开始使用我们系统的20分钟内，

someone tried to upload a known piece of abuse material.

有人尝试上传一个已知 的儿童性侵内容。

They were able to stop it, they pull it down,

Imgur因此能够 及时阻止，移除内容，

they report it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

并向国家失踪与受虐儿童中心报告。

But they went a step further,

但是他们更进一步，

and they went and inspected the account of the person who had uploaded it.

找到并审查了内容发布人的账号，

Hundreds more pieces of child sexual abuse material

发现了其他上百个我们没看过的

that we had never seen.

儿童性侵媒体内容。

And this is where we start to see exponential impact.

我们由此才开始看到 这个软件产生的指数级影响。

We pull that material down,

我们移除内容，

it gets reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children

并且将其报告给 国家失踪与受虐儿童中心，

and then those hashes go back into the system

然后那些哈希再返回到系统，

and benefit every other company on it.

令每个使用该软件的企业受益。

And when the millions of hashes we have lead to millions more and, in real time,

当数百万的哈希值指向更多内容时，

companies around the world are identifying and pulling this content down,

全世界的企业就能实时 识别并移除此类内容，

we will have dramatically increased the speed at which we are removing

我们从全球的网络上 移除儿童性侵媒体内容

child sexual abuse material from the internet around the world.

的速度将会大大提升。

(Applause)

（掌声）

But this is why it can't just be about software and data,

但这也是我们为何不能局限于 软件和数据的原因，

it has to be about scale.

它必须能够大规模应用。

We have to activate thousands of officers,

如果科技能让我们在世界范围内 超越那些加害者，

hundreds of companies around the world

并拆除那些使儿童性虐待

if technology will allow us to outrun the perpetrators

正常化的社区。

and dismantle the communities that are normalizing child sexual abuse

我们就必须充分动员 世界范围内数千名警官，

around the world today.

以及数百家企业。

And the time to do this is now.

现在就是一个契机。

We can no longer say we don't know the impact this is having on our children.

我们不能再说 我们不知道这对孩子们的影响。

The first generation of children whose abuse has gone viral

第一代受到侵犯的媒体资料 被大肆传播的孩子们

are now young adults.

已经长大成人。

The Canadian Centre for Child Protection

加拿大儿童保护中心

just did a recent study of these young adults

最近针对这些年轻人做了一个研究，

to understand the unique trauma they try to recover from,

以了解他们在自知所受 的侵犯将持续被传播时，

knowing that their abuse lives on.

需要尝试客服的独特创伤。

Eighty percent of these young adults have thought about suicide.

80%的这些年轻人有过自杀的想法，

More than 60 percent have attempted suicide.

超过60%曾尝试自杀。

And most of them live with the fear every single day

他们的大部分人 每天都生活在恐惧中：

that as they walk down the street or they interview for a job

当他们走上街头， 或参加一个面试，

or they go to school

或是去学校，

or they meet someone online,

或是在网上碰见的某个人，

that that person has seen their abuse.

这些人碰巧看过他们 被侵犯的网络内容。

And the reality came true for more than 30 percent of them.

而他们中有超过30%人， 噩梦成为现实。

They had been recognized from their abuse material online.

他们因为网上性侵的内容被认出。

This is not going to be easy,

这条路不简单，

but it is not impossible.

但并不是不可能。

Now it's going to take the will,

现在需要展现

the will of our society

我们社会的决心，

to look at something that is really hard to look at,

去着手解决非常难以直面的问题，

to take something out of the darkness

在黑暗中创造希望，

so these kids have a voice;

让那些孩子的声音能被听见；

the will of companies to take action and make sure that their platforms

去展现企业们的决心，采取 一切措施并确保他们的平台

are not complicit in the abuse of a child;

不与儿童侵犯者共谋；

the will of governments to invest with their law enforcement

去展现政府部门的决心， 投资执法部门破案设施，

for the tools they need to investigate a digital first crime,

来调查数字先行的犯罪，

even when the victims cannot speak for themselves.

即便受害者无法为自己申辩。

This audacious commitment is part of that will.

这大胆的承诺是展现决心的一部分。

It's a declaration of war against one of humanity's darkest evils.

这是一场对抗人性 阴暗邪恶的宣战。

But what I hang on to

但是我所坚持的

is that it's actually an investment in a future

是一个对未来的投资，

where every child can simply be a kid.

在那里，每个孩子 都可以保留单纯的本性。

Thank you.

谢谢。

(Applause)
