#2Didn't get past the paywall but, recently a friend had their primary school targeted by blackmailers who took public photos of children and made (I'm told) extremely explicit images with them, threatening to release them if not paid.
What's the defense? Intelligent screening of incoming messages so that the threat never reaches the blackmail target? I imagine they'll find an unprotected channel.
Don't post innocuous images of children ever? Seems like losing.

I do have to say that I find it disturbing how liberally parents seem to post pictures of their children in public though. Respect the privacy of your children, they’re not your pets.

I'm more thinking, the winning school sports team, a choir performing, etc. Things that would be posted in normal institutional participation and give children positive affirmation and recognition

Certainly in my lifetime we never posted such things publicly across the globe, neither for myself nor my peers, nor for my children and most of their peers at school.
Such things were printed and handed out and rarely made it past that years parents and students and the school archive (physical visit required).

Prosecution of AI operators for making indecent images of children?

Same defenses that are used against fraud and other crime.
criminal prosecution of the blackmailers AND the services used to generate the pictures.
This is effectively child porn... so penalties would be pretty harsh.
There are extradition treaties to most of the world, so unless the blackmailers are in China/Russia they will end up in jail.
That same thing played out with piracy with people extradited to the US from various countries
