Here the direct link to the picture database https://www.europol.europa.eu/stopchildabuse

This is when I spare a thought for people whose job is to moderate user-posted content.

None of these pictures have signs of immediate physical violence, but just looking at them and thinking of their possible backstories makes my stomach churn.

Don't let your imagination run wild. Most child abuse is nonviolent, usually committed by family or acquaintances of the child.

Kind of disappointed in how few images there are there, considering the scale of child abuse mentioned in the article it is odd how there is only a dozen or so images to look at and try to identify.

I think they are releasing a few at a time to try and get the most eyeballs concentrated on the images.

I don't know if that's the most effective strategy, but maybe there are other reasons why they can't just dump them all at once.

That card looks like a pokemon card with a Google Chrome logo. Frustratingly familiar.

It looks a bit like the Domino's Pizza logo (but the whitespace inside the blue area wouldn't bleed so much into the outside, I think) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Domino%27s_pizza_logo.svg

Voltorb, maybe? https://www.pokemon.com/uk/pokemon-tcg/pokemon-cards/xy-seri...

The thing on the back looks surprisingly similar to a package of "Yerba Rosamonte"[1], which would place this picture in Argentina/Uruguay. But it's too low res to say whether that's the case, or just pareidolia.

I thought exactly the same.

It looks like something else once looking at the same picture with the adjusted light (using Photoshop):

That blue can looks like a Nivea 250ml can.

I thought that container looked very familiar. My first guess was going to be Jergens, but I can't find an exact match on Google Images. Nivea might be it; again I can't find a dead-ringer but it's close to some of their packaging designs.

Unfortunately it's a global brand so not much help.

The context makes these cut outs really upsetting to see in some cases. Like the hyper zoom-ins of dolls and figurines in what may be a child rape scene.

Image 18 should be simple enough if anyone here can read Chinese - the businesses across the road seem nearly clear enough to read.

Yup. I can see the pictograms for center 中 and strength/power 力. Maybe something related with healthcare or a gym.

The most interesting part are the palms, but they are damaged with the photoshop work. If they are what they seem, this particular kind of palms are picky and do not tolerate any frost. A city near the coast probably.

The blue trafic signal is also interesting.

(Could be this photo related with the coca-cola red seats?)

It would be cool if someone like Google could implement this in their recaptchas somehow to get more exposure.
