But do tell us how making Wikipedia a 'tier one' website and demanding the ID of every editor is going to help?

L'FBI e l'NSPCC allarmati per l'aumento "scioccante" delle #sextortion online ai danni di minori. L'anno scorso #Snapchat ha registrato circa 20.000 casi di #adescamento online di #minori da parte di adulti, più di altre piattaforme di social media messe insieme.

#SteelCon Adaora Uche - #Scams, #Sextortion and Snapchats: Keeping Gen-Alpha Safe in a Digital Wild West

Within 19 hrs of 1 guy in the US starting chatting with a sextorter on the Wizz app, he had killed himself. This was not the only example.

In the audience, someone from a school said they had a teacher disappear recently from a secondary school, and it turned out he was being investigated for being inappropriate with 20 kids from the school. She is dealing with the fallout with 6 of the children.

Someone else in the audience was sextorted, and was threatened with her parents and work being told. She bravely didn't give in to their demands.
A credit to her parents, they basically said "what is your point? we've seen her nude before" 🤣
She said it was an interesting talk with her employer, however 😢
