youthprotect e.V. is a non-profit organization that has been committed to protecting children and young people on the internet since it was founded.
Our goal is to make the internet a safe place for everyone, especially for young users who are exposed to particular risks online.
Working closely with government institutions and partner organizations, we track down criminally relevant content on websites and social media and ensure that it is removed.
With our “Netzmelden” platform, we enable users to report inappropriate or illegal content quickly and easily.
