CSAM Scanning Tool now requires only verified email for onboarding
The CSAM Scanning Tool is now more accessible, requiring only a verified email address for notifications instead of external reporting credentials. The tool automatically hashes and scans cached images against a database of known abusive content and blocks matches.
You can now implement our child safety tooling, the CSAM Scanning Tool, more easily. Instead of requiring external reporting credentials, you only need a verified email address for notifications to onboard. This change makes the tool more accessible to a wider range of customers.
How It Works
When enabled, the tool automatically hashes images for enabled websites as they enter the Cloudflare cache ↗. These hashes are then checked against a database of known abusive images.
- Potential match detected?
- The content URL is blocked, and
- Cloudflare will notify you about the found matches via the provided email address.
Updated Service-Specific Terms
We have also made updates to our Service-Specific Terms ↗ to reflect these changes.
