It was a missed opportunity to not appoint a Cabinet Minister for Children. And we need child safety and wellbeing to be a priority for National Cabinet, like ‘women’s safety’ is. Time for real action for our most vulnerable children.

Does Australia have a problem with child welfare in child focused sectors? Early childcare. Out of home care. Juvenile justice. Youth detention. Why do we keep seeing breaches of basic standards across child-focused settings? smh.com.au/national/frank…

Many child sex offenders are friends with other offenders, but the risk of coordination and cooperation between abusers has been overlooked.

Meta has spent months touting Instagram Teen Accounts as the solution to teen safety concerns. So we tested Teen Accounts. Our key findings: Instagram recommended sexual content to all of our test-teen accounts despite its promise of "sensitive content controls." Via WaPo. /1

Michael Salter - spot on. People find #CSA difficult enough to event think about, never mind talk about. The thought that these criminals also congregate in their thousands to coordinate, share tips and seek to normalize pedophilia is tough (for some) to take. But not us!

“As Mark Zuckerberg put it… at a certain point, there’s a cost tradeoff… a brutal calculus that sees 10,000 engineers as too costly, but recommending 2 million minors to “groomers” or 659,340 reports from minors reporting adults for comments… over a three-month period”

The House has passed the GOP's budget bill with the 10-year ban on state AI laws intact. If the provision survives reconciliation in the Senate, the California, Colorado, or any other state that sought to pass laws governing AI would be legally banned from doing so. 1/x
