The Alliance to Counter Crime Online groups 30 non-profits, academics and citizen investigators collectively fighting the growth of serious organized crime on the surface web. We share a commitment to justice, a dedication to countering exploitation in all its forms, and the courage to investigate some of the worst aspects of humankind. Every ACCO member has taken personal risks and made sacrifices to do what we do, out of passion for the subjects we seek to protect. We need that dedication to take on one of the world’s most powerful, well-funded industries: Big Tech and Big Crime.
ACCO members are leading authorities in a range of serious crime sectors online, including child sex abuse content, human trafficking, narcotics, wildlife, antiquities, and fraud. ACCO produces investigative reports and analysis about how illicit groups have weaponized social media, and we provide evidence we develop to regulators, lawmakers and the public.
