BBC unwittingly unmasks the absurdity of "sextortion"

Post by Jim Burton »

Here is an in-depth article by the BBC describing how Nigerian sextortionists (the same people who ran those annoying "prince" emails for decades) take advantage of prudish middle-class attitudes to extort teenagers. They don't care, because they are poor, underprivileged and don't share the same shameful attitudes.

I see the above fact acknowledged, but nowhere is it suggested the solution is to normalize sexual expression among teenagers and legalize AI content that is indistinguishable from the real thing, therefore rendering "sextortion" ineffective. Or at least as fucking boomer-tier stupid as the Nigerian Prince scam.

Not surprised at any of this.
But definitely something to write down.
