I'm a bit floored by my work on father-daughter incest. Really didn't expect to find so many people, going to so much effort, to absolve fathers of responsibility, and to blame mothers & girls. Apologies to you feminist stalwarts who've been shouting this but I've not heard you

This is the reality of epidemic levels of voyeurism targeting women and girls - Korea employing women to check toilets for hidden cameras. The abuse is pervasive, unrelenting and costly for women and girls, and all of society.

Government claims motive for sharing sexual images w/out consent is not sexual, therefore it's not a sexual offence. Deeply worrying statement as this entirely misunderstands the motives & nature of sexual offending #NotSexualMotives #Control #Power

Many horrific elements to the crimes against Holly Willoughby inc his possession of sexually explicit deepfakes of her: fuelling his plans. Vital reminder celebrities deserve the same protection from deepfake abuse, despite justifications of creators

How is deepfake sexual abuse thriving? Because Google and Apple make it easy to create accounts on deepfake websites—giving a veneer of credibility—before you pay for credits & generate abusive images. Vital reporting from @mattburgess1 @WIRED
