Groups like the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) and National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) run automated crawlers that extract and verify captures from Vichatter when illegal content is suspected.

Allow users to take verifiable screenshots or recordings of chats/cam streams only when interacting with a verified user, with automatic tamper-proof metadata.


In the context of live streaming and webcam sites, a "capture" is a recording of a live stream made by a third party (a viewer).

Because of these risks, verified captures from Vichatter are often the only reliable evidence to identify and prosecute offenders.

Each badge links to a concise provenance panel showing which checks were performed (e.g., metadata verified, human review completed) so viewers can assess the level of assurance.
