Episode Description from the Publisher

What if your worst nightmare played on repeat, over and over on anonymous computer screens all over the world. That's a daily reality for adult survivors of childhood abuse like Paul and Sage and many others like them. These horrific images of them as kids continue to hold them hostage. But they're fighting back and speaking out publicly for the first time. They team up with a feisty group of global sentinels to take on some of the most powerful tech companies in the world to combat the spread of the illegal CSAM material. From TVO Podcasts, the Investigative Journalism Bureau, The Toronto Star, and Piz Gloria Productions, this six-part podcast series follows the survivors' long-shot fight against the most powerful companies in the world to end a massive, global trade in child sex abuse imagery.
