We often tell children that they should be careful what they post online, whether it be images, videos or even text without being sure that it will not result in damaging responses.
A victim of child sexual abuse has begged the platform X to prevent links offering images of her abuse being posted on his social media platform X.
The girl, now woman, commented "Hearing that my abuse - and the abuse of so many others - is still being circulated and commodified here is infuriating," says "Zora" (not her real name) who lives in the United States and was first abused more than 20 years ago.
"Every time someone sells or shares child abuse material, they directly fuel the original, horrific abuse."
The circulation or such damaging images can be triggered by the child themselves who are then contacted, groomed and forced to produce ever more images or videos which are ciculated for cash. In other situations children are contacted via games or other online commnunities and then gradually encouraged to continue communications via other means. They then are groomed to do the same sort of thing.
