BE VERY CAREFUL POSTING YOUR CHILDREN ONLINE!!
I had lunch with a friend who is very notable in security and does a lot of contract work for the FBI particularly relating to child trafficking cases.
He just took 6 months off and we had lunch. It got to the topic of why, after a 15 year straight career, he had to take the leave of absence.
He said that with child trafficking comes a lot of unauthorized sexual content shutdown. The use of AI has made this particularly bad. He said he took the leave of absence because people failing to protect their children (mostly influencers) was depressing him.
He did not give a specific number but said "a handful of influencers I would absolutely know" that they have TOLD there was explicit content of their kids on these sites, whether in a bathing suit posted by them or AI and they basically said "oh well".
They also have not told many because it has to get to a certain amount of searches to flag as an issue big enough but they are out there. He said there are a lot of influencer kids in particular because of just the amount of images they post of them that these people can use or feed through AI for better results.
DISGUSTING!!!!! Underage children having such a huge online footprint should be illegal EVERYWHERE.
Meanwhile their parents are buying 8M homes while people prey on their children due to the online footprint they created for their kids- to do nothing more than make more money.
