WHAT: The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) will reveal the 2026 Dirty Dozen List of mainstream contributors to sexual exploitation during an online briefing.
“With the rapid rise of sexual exploitation through AI and other digital platforms, in conjunction with few laws to confront this crisis that impacts both children and adults, the Dirty Dozen List will reveal 12 of the worst offenders contributing to this perfect storm of exploitation,” said Haley McNamara, Executive Director and Chief Strategy Officer, National Center on Sexual Exploitation.
“The Dirty Dozen List’s intent is to generate change when it comes to policies, procedures, and practices of mainstream entities that contribute to rampant sexual abuse and exploitation. When AI promotes child sexual abuse or sexual violence, when social media executives knowingly allow predators to reach children, when digital platforms enable image-based sexual abuse to flourish, it is time for them to be called out and exposed for the harm they are perpetuating,” McNamara said.
The Dirty Dozen List is an annual campaign calling out 12 mainstream entities for facilitating, enabling, and even profiting from sexual abuse and exploitation.
Since 2013, the Dirty Dozen List has galvanized tens of thousands of individuals to call on corporations, government agencies, and organizations to change problematic policies and practices. This campaign has yielded major victories at Google, Netflix, TikTok, Hilton Worldwide, Verizon, Walmart, U.S. Department of Defense, and more. The 2025 Dirty Dozen List highlighted 12 survivors who were denied justice in the courts because of Section 230.
WHEN: The online briefing will be held Tuesday, March 31 at 1:00 pm EDT.
