  • In January a new batch of suspected illegal images was sent to Mabel for analysis.

    It turned out these were not illegal in nature, so normally this would mean analysts move on to the next case.

    But Mabel instantly recognised the schoolgirl and started to look for clues about who she could be.

    The charity [NSPCC] is calling on tech companies to increase safeguards that block nude images from being taken and shared on children’s devices.

    It’s great that this media is being found and removed from the Internet, but imagine how mortifying and scary it would be for the police to track you down as an adult for a legal non-issue, and for breaking no law, for something you chose as an adult to keep secret.

    Instead of helping victims, this state apparatus is being used to justify invasive device surveillance. Parents need to parent their teenagers and monitor their minor’s device usage, instead of letting mass surveillance and the police to do it for them.






  • These are great points and are important to consider for mental and sexual health. I also think that the risks accompanying age verification’s mass surveillance and capitalism’s exploitation of America’s institutional sexual repression have a far greater and more harmful impact than porn and masturbation.

    Of course, it’s not a bad thing that there is support for people in the form of this app, but I fear that legal policy is expanding to suppress sexuality without consent. For example, data from period tracking apps has already been used to persecute women who seek abortions. If the extreme religious right in America gets their way, could data from anti-masturbation apps or age verification services be used to help prove you accessed “illegal” pornography?

    It sounds insane, because it is, but I believe this is where we’re headed in a fascist, sexually repressive America. :/


  • “Porn addiction,” like “sex addiction,” isn’t recognized by the DSM-5, which classifies mental disorders. While porn-viewing can be compulsive, like other behaviors, research suggests that perceived porn addiction predicted distress over actual porn use itself. Yet, the idea of “porn addiction” persists in the U.S., which lacks comprehensive sex education requirements in many states; only 37 percent of states require sex education to be medically accurate, according to Boston University.

    What a perfect example of how sexuality is suppressed, controlled, then monetized in the US, and the harm it causes.

    Get ready for age verification data breaches like this, except on a worldwide scale.



  • Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said: ‘This operation will result in lower gas prices in the long term.’

    This is only if they manage to occupy Iran. After murdering their children, and treasonously backing out of TWO working nuclear deals, there’s not a snowball’s chance on the sun that Iranians will ever trust the US or the West again. Even then, we would just literally be stealing their natural resources.

    What happened to this being about blocking their nuclear program? Now that the price of oil has doubled, they just pivot to “prices will fall once we take their oil”? These people can’t even lie convincingly. They can’t plan or orchestrate a war against a lesser force with the most powerful military ever conceived. As of now, the US Navy cannot secure the Straight of Hormuz. How long will it take to end the conflict and de-mine the entire strait?

    Democrats need to HAMMER this home: Trump’s war costs EXACTLY this much at the pump, every day. There needs to be a ticker on every news broadcast showing live gas prices around the nation.
