The online sexual abuse of children is facilitated by the progress in technology, which is providing low-cost platforms for peer-to-peer sharing of files, fast live streaming capabilities, and end-to-end user encryption so that perpetrators can remain anonymous.</p> <p>In this episode, we speak with Chris Wexler — CEO of Krunam.
