7 Recommendations The Tech Coalition has already made signi昀椀cant efforts to prevent, mitigate, and address the human rights risks associated with the Lantern Program. In addition to the general governance mechanisms and participant commitments set out in Section 4 above, the Tech Coalition is also taking the following actions, among others: • Quality assurance plan to ensure that signals shared are applicable and relevant to OCSEA violations and abuse. The plan includes a commitment from participants to manually review all signals that do not originate from their platforms and establish precision before taking action on them. Participants are encouraged to provide descriptions, con昀椀dence metrics, and review status when uploading signals, as well as “reactions” to uploaded signals indicating the extent to which signals mirror the description provided. • Parameters around what data can be included in the Lantern database to ensure only infor- mation necessary for the detection and prevention of OCSEA is shared by participants. Information about children or teenage platform users are precluded from inclusion in the Lantern database. Furthermore, to ensure respect for users’ rights of privacy, personal data issued by public authorities (such as passport or social security numbers), information related to employ- ment or education, or sensitive information about personal characteristics are not permitted in the Lantern database. • Measures to prevent external involvement in the database. Participants commit to not accept direct contributions to the Lantern database from government actors or representatives, and to challenge efforts by government actors to engage with or access the Lantern database. Partic- ipants are required to disclose any government requests, in昀氀uence, or attempts to access the Lantern Program within 14 days of its occurrence. • Publication of a transparency report to provide information on the purpose and policies of the Lantern Program, demonstrate accountability for the use of signals by participants, and provide insights applicable to the child safety and protection 昀椀eld for the prevention of OCSEA. The Tech Coalition will collect metrics from participants annually on the types of signals used, and the number of actions taken on the basis of signals in the Lantern database. The Tech Coalition also recommends that participants publish individual transparency reports. BSR TECH COALITION HUMAN RIGHTS IMPACT ASSESSMENT 46
