Stopline

Open 24/7

Stopline is the Austrian reporting center for individuals who encounter depictions of child sexual abuse material and evidence of endorsement of National Socialist ideology on the internet. While sextortion is not explicitly listed as a primary focus, their work in combating online abuse and their cooperation with law enforcement agencies suggests they may be a relevant point of contact or can direct individuals to appropriate resources. They emphasize anonymous and unbureaucratic reporting.
