Internet Watch Foundation has found a manual on dark web encouraging criminals to use software tools that remove clothing. The manipulated image could then be used against the child to blackmail them into sending more graphic content, the IWF said.

    This is an example of why every responsible parent should forbid their children from uploading any pictures of themselves online, or better yet, bar them from social media entirely. This might be a hot take here, but parents should install monitoring software on all of their children’s devices and be open about it. Not doing so is negligent.

    Your kids could end up on the pedo registry if they take a picture of themselves and someone changes it into porn.

    We could deal with this easily by banning the distribution of porn entirely.

      Easily? This would cause riots.

        The average coomer would rage out in their basement and nothing would happen.

        If people are that addicted to porn, it’s proof that it needs to be taken away.

            There’s no reason why children should be using social media. I support legislation that will bar them from it. They need to go touch grass.

              Most kids are banned from social media anyway. But it means nearly every kid in the US has broken the CFAA, committing a felony typically given a twenty-five year prison sentence. I don’t know how that will play out in the EU, but we really don’t like putting our kids in prison for creating social media accounts on false pretenses.

              Or their parents, for that matter. Especially since we work all our adults so much they have neither time nor energy to parent.

              Blanket solutions are not going to fix this.
