We are delighted to share that our paper “Gold Standard or Gold-Plated? Human Practices of Triple Verification in CSAM Takedown”, by Melissa Rottier, Michel van Eeten, and Savvas Zannettou, received a 🏆 Best Paper Honorable Mention Award at the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI ‘26).

The paper presents a mixed-methods study of how triple verification (requiring three reviewers to agree) is implemented in the classification of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), combining expert interviews, an inter-reliability experiment with Dutch National Police experts, and a focus group.

Congratulations to the authors!
