The #COVID19 crisis has caused many organizations and schools to conduct virtual meetings/events, some of which are open to the public. Additionally, links to many of these virtual events are being shared online, resulting in a lack of vetting of approved participants.
During the last few months, the FBI has received more than 240 reports of incidents throughout the U.S. and in other countries in which a Zoom participant was able to broadcast a video depicting child sexual abuse material. https://www.fbi.gov/ZoomCSAM
The FBI considers this activity to be a violent crime, as every time child sexual abuse material is viewed, the depicted child is re-victimized. Anyone who inadvertently sees child sexual abuse material depicted during a virtual event is potentially a victim as well.
If you were exposed to child sexual abuse material during a Zoom meeting, please complete this brief questionnaire: https://forms.fbi.gov/seeking-victims-in-the-zoom-disruptions-investigation.
Your responses are voluntary but would be useful in the federal investigation and to identify you as a potential victim. Based on the responses provided, you may be contacted by the FBI and asked to provide additional information. http://www.fbi.gov/ZoomCSAM
