What progress looked like in 2025
Member companies more than doubled their child safety improvements. 60 companies delivered 317 mileposts—concrete product, policy, and operational changes across prevention, detection, and response.
On average, member companies advanced 5+ mileposts each, representing concrete actions to introduce safeguards, improve detection capabilities, or strengthen responses.
Industry adoption of proven safeguards is accelerating, including hashing technologies, detection classifiers, and safety-by-design approaches embedded earlier in product development.
Explore the dataFrom signals to disruption
Lantern is enabling cross-platform action. It allows companies to securely share threat signals—account information, URLs, and behavioral indicators—so related activity can be identified and disrupted across digital platforms.
By the end of 2025, 2M+ signals had been shared through Lantern, supporting over 350k+ platform enforcement actions.
In 2025 alone, Lantern enabled actions against:
- 31,504 accounts
- 27,646 pieces of content
- 17,778 URLs
Collaboration is the engine of progress
The Tech Coalition brings together 60 companies, representing services used by billions of people worldwide. At this scale, collaboration enables companies to address shared challenges and accelerate the adoption of effective safety approaches across the global ecosystem.
2025 member collaboration stats:
Our impact extends beyond members. Last year, 80 companies participated in Pathways, our no-cost program providing access to tools, resources, and guidance to strengthen child safety across the broader ecosystem.
Looking ahead
The threat landscape is evolving fast—but so is the industry response.
Artificial intelligence is increasing the scale and speed of abuse, while also strengthening detection and disruption capabilities. How these tools are applied will shape how effectively industry stays ahead of harm.
In 2026, the Tech Coalition will focus on scaling what works—expanding shared infrastructure like Lantern, strengthening AI safeguards, and deepening global and cross-sector coordination.
