Processing a report

After the report has been submitted to the Stopline, the agents check whether the material is actually illegal according to the Austrian laws. In this case the Stopline immediately contacts the responsible executive authority, the affected Austrian ISP and the foreign partner hotlines within INHOPE, which is a network of hotlines against illegal contents on the internet.

The responsible executive branches within the Federal Ministry of the Interior are the Criminal Intelligence Service Austria for child pornographic material and the Federal Agency for State Protection and Counter Terrorism. These executive bodies will then take further measures.

If any other possibly illegal contents are reported to the Stopline, the Stopline agents will also try to help in these cases. Further sources of information and contact points will be forwarded if needed.

If other, presumably illegal content is reported to Stopline, the Stopline members will also try to assist you in these cases and will notify you about further sources of information and contact points as far as possible.
