Hotline
Description:
The Austrian Hotline, Stopline, was founded in 1998 by the Austrian ISPA as a self-regulatory instrument of the internet industry to give internet users the opportunity to report illegal content they find online.
Stopline provides a web form under www.stopline.at and the email address report@stopline.at for users to report illegal online content. Two main scopes of activity of the hotline are child pornography and national socialism. The major aim of Stopline is to assist users and ISPs to react to illegal content, and to help law enforcement authorities to act quickly and efficiently.
