Use of the technology to exploit children is one of the reasons why the national nonprofit, which aims to help find missing children, reduce child sexual exploitation and prevent child victimization, released its Take It Down tool last year, which helps combat child sexual exploitation by enabling youth to remove sexually explicit images of themselves from the internet, according to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
