Thorn

www.thorn.org

Thorn.org house the first engineering and data science team focused solely on developing new technologies to combat online child sexual abuse.

Thorn.org bring together a team with deep technical knowledge and subject matter expertise to innovate and deploy new technology solutions at a much faster rate.

Thorn.org can quickly assess whether new technologies can be repurposed to protect children from sexual exploitation through one of their three strategic pillars:

1) accelerating victim identification

2) equipping platforms

3) empowering the public.

The Thorn team prototyped a product to aid in identifying child sex trafficking victims who were sold online. Thorn made the decision to develop the product itself and provide it free to law enforcement. This approach broke open a new model that moved beyond innovation to include productization and rapid scale, bypassing existing bureaucratic structures that often hamper access, data sharing, and collaboration.
