In a series of in-depth reports for TechCrunch, Josh Constine has revealed the extent of the issue, uncovered with the help of a number of organisations.

 

This includes Israeli startup firm AntiToxin, who use algorithms to protect people from what it terms 'Online Toxicity' - particularly children from harassment, bullying, predatory behaviour and sexually explicit activity.

 

AntiToxin studied some of the apps that hosted links to child porn sharing rings on WhatsApp that had been removed from Google Play.

 

It uncovered the funding connection with two of the world's largest tech companies, via their advertising services.

 

Six of these apps ran Google AdMob, while one ran Google Firebase, two on Facebook Audience Network and one on StartApp, a firm specialising in online ads.

 

These networks earned a cut of the money from adverts hosted on the third-party apps used to search for illegal images.

 

Adverts featured some big brand names - including Amazon, Microsoft, Motorola, Sprint, Sprite, Western Union, Dyson, DJI, Gett, Yandex Music, Q Link Wireless, Tik Tok and more - according to TechCrunch.
