It’s almost like the online safety act pushing children to learn how to mask their online presence through dodgy free VPN phone apps wasn’t a good idea.
Still, at least it will give the government the narrative they need to push for more surveillance until they have absolute control over every aspect of your private life.
By the way, this rise mentioned in the article is 90% likely down to a surge in kids using the newly available tech of AI to put someone else’s selfie faces onto a naked body. They even say “Half the crimes were child-on-child, committed by children aged 10-17”
This is schoolyard bullying with a new medium to achieve it.
The headline makes it out that there’s been a rise in pedos, which isn’t the case.
This is the part that shocked me:
“Half the crimes were child-on-child, committed by children aged 10-17, and within this group the most common crime was sharing indecent imagery (64%).”
Basically, it’s teenagers sharing intimate images and videos of themselves with their boyfriends/girlfriends who then share them with others at school and beyond. This is horrifying.
I’m sure teachers and parents are warning about this but speaking as a former teenager, I can just imagine myself being stupid enough to do this. And it’s not as if yelling at social media company will stop this, as these sorts of images can be sent via something as mundane as email and even disguised via very simple methods.
>”She added that technology used by children should come with inbuilt protections, such as mobile phones that allow them to only access safe platforms and websites.”
THEY ALREADY DO! PARENTS JUST NEED TO FUCKING TURN IT ON!
>Half the crimes were child-on-child, committed by children aged 10-17, and within this group the most common crime was sharing indecent imagery (64%).
What does ‘sharing indecent imagery’ mean? Like people under 18 sharing porn, or do they mean CSAM, like sexting? Because the two are quite different in severity.
> Becky Riggs, the acting chief constable of Staffordshire police, called for tech companies to use AI tools to automatically prevent indecent pictures from being uploaded and shared on their sites.
Most sites already do this, including Reddit. But it only works for images that have already been added to the database of known CSAM.
Most of these kids are not sharing them via posting to places like Facebook or Instagram, they’re sending them in messages on Snapchat and WhatsApp.
Snapchat does scan for known CSAM images, even in private messages. WhatsApp does not.
