#32I think every parent should be aware that if they give their kids a phone the result is often that they become sexually involved with strangers at a young age. Occasionally, this results in actual meet ups, mostly just sexting. I'm not sure if there is a "solution" to this problem, or its just the case that sexual morality as it has been conceived is already gone, and articles like these are just the death knells of…
Now that you say this, is there any actual data on harms caused to teenagers from consensual sexual relationships with adults? Or are we all just freaking out because it's unpalatable?
Have you heard of Google?

Teenagers don't suddenly become more mature on their birthdays, but the law needs to draw the line somewhere, and I want adults to be strongly discouraged from pursuing 13-year-olds.

#34You're not an "influencer" if you're female and the audience is 92% men. You're just a porn star. > At one point, she offered Instagram subscriptions to users willing to pay a monthly fee for extra photos and videos. How more obvious can it be? This article is clearly the result of trying to justify selling your daughter as a porn star. They'll take the money, but oh how they wish it didn't have to be like this (it d…
'You're not an "influencer" if you're female and the audience is 92% men. You're just a porn star.'
That's unfair. There are young female chess influencers such as the Botez sisters and Anna Cramling, where I'd guess that the vast majority of the audience is male. Those women are not porn stars, even though their viewership is boosted by their youth and good looks.

This study is about sexual violence to children, not about 16-year-olds having consensual sex with 20-year-olds.

> is there any actual data on harms caused to teenagers
Must all moral decisions be based on data? If so, what level of certainty is required of this data? In this hypothetically permissive world, is a 13 year the same as an 18 year-old? Because in my experience, their capacities to reason through difficult choices are entirely different. And what makes a 13 year-old substantively different from a 12 year-old? Clearly by limiting your hypothetical to teens, you’re saying something about their capacity to make fully reasoned choices in a way that differs from younger peers. Is there data there? Are these properties evenly distributed in the population? As a parent of a teen, I’m fine if there’s no data here; and I’m ok that it’s a moral choice that the culture in which I live makes based on a deeply held duty to protect, even if the harms aren’t fully understood. Because power differentials may create the illusion of consent, when it’s not truly fully given.

The parents seem to be enablers according to the article. The child's mother is into marketing, so I guess it is in character. I don't think there is a sane way to prevent missuse of pictures of children. But a starter would be to not use social media.
Blame can be shared.
Sure. Facebook's platforms are fubar and toxic and deterimental to society and people shouldn't subject themself to them.
The enshittification have been slowly creeping onto the users but I think people have started to slowly realize this.
Facebook proper is a ghost town among my friends. Most women seem to be hooked on Instagram though.
