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.

    Have you not heard neckbeards explain how technology is driven by porn before? They are very proud and excited to explain it to you.

    Edit: see? they can’t resist. Note that I never weighed in on the validity.

      Well they’re not wrong, tech had been and still is for a huge part driven by sex. Nothing to be proud or ashamed about, it simply is what it is, we’re humans and as much as we pretend to all be prudes, we looooove a good sex.

        I mean, it would be nice if demand for sex was just pushing us towards AI VR waifus or something. Let the neckbeards put on a haptic suit and bang all the Evangelian characters or something. Kinda fucked that we’re going straight to fully-automated sexual exploitation of kids…

        I wish we lived in a cool cyberpunk dystopia instead of the horror show that is present day reality.

          Well honestly, if pedos having a go at VR AI kids keeps them from harming actual children … People do fucked up things, if we can give them a VR AI outlet then let’s go

          PSA: Third party clients can still show what you have written when opening the response (probably due to federation).
          So don’t type anything overly sensitive in the future.
