to increase it—for example, by offering capacity-building or other incentives to the related entity, or by collaborating with other actors. › Many of the potential adverse impacts highlighted in this assessment cannot be addressed by the Tech Coalition alone, but instead require system-wide and multistakeholder approaches. RECOMMENDATION 11 PRIORITY: MEDIUM Share insights and work with stakeholders to contribute to the broader 昀椀eld. Insights gleaned through the Lantern Program can be useful for broader industry, civil society, and policy efforts to 昀椀ght OCSEA. In addition to the information shared in annual transparency reports, the Tech Coalition should explore other avenues to share insights and collaborate with stakeholders. There are speci昀椀c areas where Lantern Program insights may be particularly helpful: › Gray areas that the 昀椀eld has not yet agreed how to handle, such as self-generated explicit imagery and minor-on-minor offenses. › Industry-wide challenges, such as age assurance and veri昀椀cation, or the identi昀椀cation of intent in sexual content. › New or evolving risk areas, such as synthetic or AI-generated CSAM. Implementing this recommendation: This recommendation would be implemented by the Tech Coalition in collaboration with the broader technology industry and other stakeholders. RATIONALE › Principle 19 of the UNGPs states that where a company has leverage to prevent or mitigate adverse impacts, it should exercise it; and where a company lacks leverage, it should seek ways to increase it—for example, by offering capacity-building or other incentives to the related entity, or by collaborating with other actors. RECOMMENDATION 12 PRIORITY: MEDIUM Investigate enabling third-party audits and trusted researcher access to the database. At present, only registered Twitch users can report potentially violating content, rather than casual viewers. In practice, many casual viewers (or users not logged in to their account) may see and want to report potentially violating content, and Twitch’s ability to review and address potentially harmful content would bene昀椀t from receiving these reports. Implementing this recommendation: This recommendation would be implemented by the Tech Coalition in collaboration with the broader technology industry and other stakeholders. RATIONALE › Principle 20 of the UNGPs states that companies should “verify whether adverse human rights impacts are being addressed … by tracking the effectiveness of their response.” This should “draw upon feedback from both internal and external sources, including affected stakeholders.” BSR TECH COALITION HUMAN RIGHTS IMPACT ASSESSMENT 56
