Police investigation remains open. The photo of one of the minors included a fly; that is the logo of Clothoff, the application that is presumably being used to create the images, which promotes its services with the slogan: β€œUndress anybody with our free service!”

The shock value of a nude picture will become increasingly humdrum as they become more widespread. Nudes will become so common that no one will batt an eye. In fact, some less endowed, less perfect ladies will no doubt do AI generated pictures or movies of themselves to sell on the internet. Think of it as photoshop X 10.

This isn't about nude photos, it's about consent.

I can already get a canvas and brush and draw what I think u/DessertStorms looks like naked and there is nothing you can do about it.

The lack of empathy in your response is telling. People do not care for the effect this has on teenage girls. They don't even try to be compassionate. I think this will just become the next thing girls and women will simply have to accept as part of their life and the sexism and objectification that is targeted at them. But "boys will be boys" right?

The number of people offering practical solutions instead of knee jerk feels... oh the humanity!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Demanding people to just accept that this will happen and they just shouldn't feel bad about it is not a practical solution.

Because this is not a solution for the people who are actually victimized. It's just a solution for the people around those who are victimzed, so that they don't need to change anything or talk (or listen) about it.

Beats clinging to a victim mentality imo.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A "victim mentality" is a personality trait which makes people feel universally victimized.

How is that applyable here? These kids were targeted for a crime and, in fact, victimized by their peers or possibly even adults.

What would actually beat leaving people alone who were blackmailed and had their privacy and dignity compromised like that, would be hefty punishment for the perpetrators. Those are the people you should look at with scrutinity, instead of concentrating on how the victims should behave.

That would in no way helps the victims tho.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Actually it does. For example by showing that people care and do not just let the behaviour slide as "boys will be boys".

Photoshopped nude pictures of celebrities (and people the photoshopper knew personally) have been around for at least 30 years at this point. This is not a new issue as far as the legal situation is concerned, just the ease of doing it changed a bit.

The article is about children.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The age of the victims is not really relevant. The problem would remain if the article were about adults.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The problem is very different here because they are children.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Very different to what? AI identity theft is what creates the victims, independent of age (or clothing).

People already do this on dating apps with filters
