Technology advancements over the past few decades have proven that
there’s a dark side to mirror the wonders it has provided. While outrageous
hypotheses exist in the sci- genre, some are just as horrifying in the realm of
non ction, perhaps making them even more terrifying for just that reason.
One of the biggest evils to emerge from the advent of technology is its role in
the child sex tra cking industry.
With social media and the ability to stay anonymous, many dangerous people
are able to mask their true intentions or simply groom young minds. The
power of the written word is stronger than the spoken one because people
conform it to match their narrative. There is an in nite pool of victims online
who are in search of the script they want to hear.

2. One of the struggles facing people trying to stop this abuse is that technology
doesn’t exist to battle the problem e ectively. Two celebrities who took
notice were Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore. After watching a documentary
on the plight in Cambodia, they admitted their lives were irrevocably
changed. While raising awareness is all well and good, they understood that a
more advanced solution was required. Not only the creation of it but also the
increased acceptance and usage of such an idea.
Innovation is the rst step in any tech idea, and that can only be achieved by
a team of talented people with the right skills and enough passion. The non-
pro t Thorn was born with the goal of identifying child sex tra cking victims,
especially ones who were targeted and sold online. There are so many
avenues these days that predators can use to get close to a child, and Thorn
knew it had to develop a way to become partners with all of them, including
law enforcement, and they needed the quickest way towards collaboration
and data sharing. With the wise foresight of the company leaders, Thorn
began o ering their software for free to law enforcement, thereby bypassing
bureaucratic obstacles.
Thorn is on a perpetual quest to bring an end to child sex tra cking. They
follow their multi-step repurposing model whenever a new technology
emerges. The rst is to accelerate victim identi cation. This is followed by
equipping platforms. The nal step is empowering the public to help win this
ght.
