A ridiculous and extremely dishonest hit-piece on Mastodon
Total fear-mongering bullshit.
The key word here is "SUSPECTED"... they don't know. With millions of users on the platform they *suspect* 600 pics.
"found over 600 pieces of known or suspected child abuse material"
1)
No one in their organization could look at 600 pics BEFORE they wrote the report?
This is not a serious group of researchers. They are obviously lying like hell.
2)
Why do they suspect these 600 pics?
because “We got more photoDNA hits"...
in plain English that means their software flagged the photos. A robot said they are suspicious. Out of millions and millions of pics all over Mastodon 600 are maybe bad according to a bot.

Here's a link to the absolute shit propaganda:

Teens Are Adults

Their experience has been artificially limited by restrictions designed to protect them. They have been protected from learning about the world they live in. Then their ignorance is used as an excuse to extend those restrictions to higher and higher ages.
In the 1980s teen was synonymous with young adult. Now teens are considered children. That is a huge shift in the way we treat millions of people.
and they are not responding well at all. They are in the middle of a huge mental health crisis. Rates of depression, self-harm, and suicide among them are at all time highs. The way we infantilize them constitutes abuse. We have to stop treating them like shit. They need and deserve basic respect. “still developing” is a fuzzy, not very scientific way to say they are inferior and justify treating them like dirt.
This short video explains quite a bit: https://youtu.be/12J1f0Zqaqw

Just like the human body the human brain changes quickly during puberty then slowly for the rest of your life. There is no magical point of “fully developed”. That’s a garbage paradigm.
Dr David Ley wrote an important article: “Performative Rage Over Pedophilia Doesn’t Protect Kids”
Hysteria does not improve the lives of at risk children. Sober honest discussion can. I encourage everyone to reassess their approach, keep an open mind, and learn about these issues.
The human experience is diverse
It is abhorrent to only believe victims when the victim says what you want them to say
Young people have agency. Their choices should be respected.
"Hmm. This person doesn't think we should burn the witch. She's probably a witch herself. Why else would she defend a witch?"
Age of consent laws don't do what you think they do.
"PREY on" is a metaphor from the animal kingdom. It means nothing in this context. There are no lions devouring helpless gazelles :-D
It's good violent imagery tho'
That really helps spread the propaganda and get people to feel more and think less.

My video about the Neo-Puritan takeover
25 year olds now say that there's a HUGE difference in maturity between them and 20 year olds :-D All of that is really new. It's due to age segregation. Ages 13-30 used to mix a lot more than now, so we didn't develop distinct age group cultures nearly as much.
Oh, and let's not forget GooglePlus :-D
They built it and nobody came.
If the creators and maintainers or Nostr want it to catch on with normal folks they need to add features that normal folks want.
Catering to the bitcoin crowd will not drawn in the general public.
We can debate how well/badly Nostr works, but the real issue is that nobody's here.
The concept of grooming is utter bullshit. It may work on 10-year-olds but if our youth are still that fucking stupid at age 14 then we have completely failed as parents and teachers.
Teens are smart enough to control their own bodies. Telling them otherwise is abuse.
High school students are not children. Nature made them adults. Puberty does that to a person. As long as you think of them as children your approach to them will make no sense and you'll have to make increasingly absurd leaps of logic to explain normal human events.
Got any friends stuck on Xitter for some reason? Introduce them to https://exit.pub 💜
E 𝕏IT.pub will help them leave Elon’s walled garden and take their goodies with them 😉

I tried it. Hardly works at all. In its current form it's not a solution.
