The connection and its scope

The published cover names Burton with five other authors. The report’s platform-hopping discussion and its placement beside encryption advice in eSafety’s toolkit are separate citation issues. The corpus does not identify which author wrote a given passage or whether Burton participated in the toolkit’s drafting. His established contribution is coauthorship of the underlying report.

From the investigation

What the cited report supports

The footnote29 URL points to the 61-page December2024 report Guiding principles for addressing technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse , by Anri van der Spuy, Sabine Witting, Patrick Burton, Emma Day, Sonia Livingstone and Kim R. Sylwander. The report cover and p61 citation identify a Digital Futures for Children centre publication; the LSE repository calls it a technical report. The toolkit citation instead includes Security and Safety, vol.4 . That is a bibliographic discrepancy, not yet proof of an incorrectly linked document.
