As imaging tools become more sophisticated, online predators are using images of children to make extreme pornography
UK parents warned over posting images of children amid AI sexual abuse fears
The two photos started out as typical teenage selfies: looking into the mirror, fully clothed. But once online predators had got hold of those pictures and ran them through an AI imaging tool, they had become the basis for extreme pornography videos.
These examples come from the Report Remove service, which allows children who have had explicit pictures of themselves distributed without their consent to flag the image confidentially and have it blocked or taken down from social media.
