Internet Watch Foundation has found a manual on dark web encouraging criminals to use software tools that remove clothing. The manipulated image could then be used against the child to blackmail them into sending more graphic content, the IWF said.

    I agree with everything you said but I don’t actually see a solution you’ve posted. Yes we could grow up and have a more mature view of sex and the human body but that doesn’t change the ease of access or manufacturing potentially illegal material right now.

      If we could implement maturity and so on, ease of access to the tools would be a non-issue. And the tools would be as legal as crayons or pencils, and the “material” as legal as any cartoon. But I agree with you that this is a super real practical problem, because we can’t.

            I must have misunderstood your post. Can you explain it to me in simpler terms?

              Uh… I’ll try.

              Society can’t be trusted to handle things like adults should. If it could, very well-done drawings of minors depicting them as nude would be a non-issue as blackmail material both because society would just shrug off any such images being published as inconsequential and because minors would be raised to know that cooperating with blackmailers accomplishes nothing productive.

                Thank you, I understand you now. I still disagree, but I can see where you’re coming from.
