SafeLine is progressively becoming known to the Greek public, a fact that is evident by the continued increasing number of reports it receives. Since its foundation year in 2003 until today, it has presented a stable escalation, which is due to the sensitivity the Greek public shows to safe Internet usage topics. It is worth mentioning that the reports in 2010 were 4204 in comparison to 2009 that were only 1775. Many of these reports were forwarded to the Greek Police, to other Hotlines around the world and to other responsible authorities. More specifically, in 2010 SafeLine, apart from the reports on child pornography, it received a large number of reports concerning Facebook (the social network site), breach of personal data and financial fraud while shopping online.

Reports received by SafeLine

A hotline, such as SafeLine, is essentially the only way of mapping the illegal side of the Internet and this mapping helps to reduce child abuse, racism, internet fraud, etc. We believe that Internet users who care for autonomy, will contribute to this attempt. Complaints received by SafeLine, once confirmed, are categorized according to the type of illegal content. In 2010. the largest percentagewise categories are shown below:
 

• 25% of racism and xenophobia  
• 21% of privacy violation and identity theft
• 14% financial fraud through Internet purchases
• 10% insult or slander  
• 6% of child pornography
• A smaller percentage of juvenile crimes such as grooming (grooming), phishing, cyber-bullying (cyber bullying), copyright infringement, breach of confidentiality of communications and threat.

Reports’ content

 The percentage of petitions for social networks was on the rise, as it reached 44% and concerned mainly identity theft, online bullying (cyber bullying), seduction of minors (grooming), racism and passwords' theft. From the total of 4204 complaints, 93 were relatied to child abuse and were recorded in a common database of INHOPE (www.inhope.org). The INHOPE is the International Association of Internet Hotlines, a member of which is  SafeLine since October 2005.
