A reporting channel for child sexual abuse material found on our networks
This platform exists so that hotlines and law-enforcement agencies can report child sexual abuse material (CSAM) hosted on the IP ranges we operate, and have it acted upon straight away. A report is turned into an abuse notice to the responsible customer within seconds, with a deadline to remove the material.
There is nothing to browse here. This site hosts no content and serves no other purpose.
Immediate
A report is recorded and the abuse notice is on its way within seconds — no queue that someone has to look at first.
Accountable
Every report keeps its own record, together with the ticket number of the notice that went out, for as long as this platform exists.
Scoped
An account only covers the networks it is assigned. Reports for anything outside them are refused rather than silently accepted.
How reporting works
- You get an account. Accounts are issued to hotlines, law-enforcement agencies and rights holders on request. There is no self-registration.
- You submit the IP address and the URL(s). Either through the web form after signing in, or over the API — whichever suits your own systems. The API has not changed and will not change without notice.
- We check the address is ours. If the IP address falls outside the ranges assigned to your account, the report is refused immediately so you know to report it elsewhere instead of assuming it was handled.
- The customer is notified. An abuse notice naming the URL(s) goes to the customer responsible for that IP address, with a deadline to remove the material and the prospect of suspension if they do not.
- You can look it up afterwards. Every report you submitted stays visible in your account, with the ticket number of the notice that was sent.

Reporting something else
This platform is only for child sexual abuse material. For any other kind of abuse — spam, phishing, copyright, network abuse — use the ordinary abuse channel of the network operator instead.
If you are unsure whether an IP address belongs to us, or you need an account, write to abuse@ipvolume.net.
If you have come across this material and are not a reporting organisation, report it to the hotline in your own country. In the Netherlands that is Meldpunt Kinderporno; internationally, INHOPE lists the hotline for each country.
