Child pornography is a crime punishable by law that occurs when a minor is sexually abused by an adult. Images that show sexual violence towards children or that portray naked or semi-naked children in inappropriate poses represent child pornography crimes. The images may be real or computer-edited, in this latter case it is referred to as virtual child pornography.

We remind you that you can report both child pornography material you have found online (e.g.: images, photos, web pages, etc.) and any Internet channels used to distribute the child pornography material online (websites, chats, communities, forums, spamming etc.). If the event that you wish to report does not involve child pornography, but other forms of computer crimes such as
- Other types of spam
- Virus/worm/dialer
- Phishing
select "Other" from the list.

Dear User, here we provide some useful information to correctly identify the "source" of information where you encountered the illegal content to report. Specifically, it may be :

A URL is a sequence of characters that identify the address of a resource on the Internet. Each URL is associated with an IP address which in turn identifies a file, a programme, a page etc.
E-mail identifies an electronic message containing illegal content or an illegal attachment.
The Community is a virtual community (e.g. chat, forum) where groups of people united by certain interests and/or specific topics communicate via the Internet.
