Children in Britain who see nude photos or videos of themselves online or are concerned about such content being uploaded can report it using a first-of-its-kind tool launched on June 22.

Under-18s can use the service – from the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) and Childline – to flag images online for removal or prevent the material from being uploaded to the Internet in the first place, according to the charity IWF.
