We have requested from our Chief Public Prosecutor's Offices:
- That reports regarding obscene and criminal activities targeting children and youth be evaluated without delay
- That digital evidence be identified and secured immediately
- That content removal and access blocking measures be applied when necessary

The best interests of our children are not open to debate for us.

We will resolutely fulfill the requirements of the rule of law in both digital spaces and the physical world. We will protect our family. We will protect our children. We will protect our future."
