Do not share Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) to "spread awareness" or "out of outrage". It is illegal. It is abusive. There is ABSOLUTELY NO circumstances where it is ever okay to share that material. On a related note, if you see CSAM, report it! forbes.com/sites/mattnovak/202

We encourage Twitter/X to maintain their years-long "zero tolerance" policy for images and videos of child sexual abuse. Allowing individuals who have posted such content to continue using the service as normal puts more survivors at risk of harm. mashable.com/article/x-twitter

This is why we warn against conflating real images of actual abuse with stories. The result is harassment against artists, storytellers, and even survivors who speak out about their experiences.

@babygalaxygrowing as for how I know it's for money, unfortunately that's mostly direct encounters. I've interviewed people who sold nudes as a kid, I have at least one friend who did it until recently (despite my urging them to stop), and I was approached by one kid on Twitter who tried to sell me images to fund their substance abuse issues.

The issue extends beyond images - kids who sell sex are also often doing it out of financial need. This photography project contains (obviously legal) images of kids who sell sex in Thailand and each has a description that includes information about why they do it. The associated short documentary was my first exposure to this issue and what got me interested in raising awareness about it.

@babygalaxygrowing this demonstrates that it's a majority of what's reported to organizations tasked with analyzing and alerting law enforcement of it, and a lot of what they analyze is new content

I'll keep looking to see if I can find anything that more accurately reflects new content rather than new reports

"Existing law already requires online service providers who have actual knowledge of 'apparent' CSAM on their platforms to report that content to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), which is essentially a government entity." eff.org/deeplinks/2023/07/ndaa

The majority of new CSAM being posted on the internet is self-produced. In some cases, this is because kids have been groomed into sharing content with an abuser. However, more often than not, it's a kid selling content to help their family make ends meet. If you want to stop the spread of CSAM, make sure every family has enough to afford basic needs.
