I believe Thorn’s technology is going to be the key to one day ending the sexual exploitation of children.
I‘m so thankful for Thorn’s team. It really does restore a bit of hope in this world to know there are people dedicated to defending children who can’t defend themselves.
John, Builder since 2019
I support Thorn because I have dear friends who were sexually exploited as children. I want to help today’s children and stop the escalation of CSAM.
Margot m, Builder since 2023
Thorn’s work is essential. Us parents often feel helpless knowing children like ours are vulnerable to predators and that’s why I’m glad to be a small part of their efforts.
Samia, Builder since 2018
