How we report on child sexual abuse, matters to finding effective #prevention solutions. Would you be able to tell good from bad reporting? https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15205436.2024.2335344#abstract

"But using AI could complicate investigations and carry its own ethical concerns, Goldberg warned, as child safety experts and law enforcement warn that the Internet is increasingly swamped with AI-generated CSAM." https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/09/cops-lure-pedophiles-with-ai-pics-of-teen-girl-ethical-triumph-or-new-disaster/

If we treat sexual harms as a preventable public health issue, it means people get the help that they need before they make decisions that require #police intervention. This also reduces interactions that children have with police. https://www.npr.org/2024/08/29/nx-s1-4917976/juvenile-miranda-rights-police-interrogations

While law enforcement is obviously necessary as part of reducing sexual violence, a better approach is to treat it as the preventable public health issue that it is.

While accountability is necessary, sexually harmful imagery is not an issue we can arrest our way out of. If we take a public health approach, we can greatly reduce those who view and share images that harm children. https://techcrunch.com/2024/08/24/telegram-founder-pavel-durov-reportedly-arrested-in-france/

What this piece misses is the perspective of the child safety sector, who also has concerns about #KOSA. Many wonder if this will do more harm than good. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/28/children-online-safety-congress-00171487 #StopKOSA
