Sharing – AI-Powered Abuse: The Growing Concern of Child Exploitation Imagery

This is an issue that I suspect gets confusing for many people. Creating deepfake abuse imagery has become relatively easy to do, but in many places, it is illegal. The harm, though, is indirect. A child wasn’t being abused to create the images, but once they are in public, the child who is being portrayed in the picture is being harmed in other ways.

It’s important to understand because it’s too easy to think of fake images as just fakes where no one was harmed. This article looks at the current state of technology and legal issues. I would love for someone to do a deep dive into the real harm caused by fake images.

Because if you ask any child or woman who has had faked images of themselves shared publicly, they can tell you about the harm.

Explore how advancements in artificial intelligence are enabling the creation of child sexual abuse imagery and the urgent legal and technological measures being taken in the U.S. and globally to address this issue.

  • Sharing – 3 Less-Known Reasons Why Men Don’t Talk about Mental Health

    The article below goes into some of that, and it is definitely something to consider. Do we “excuse” men who self-medicate with drugs and alcohol, are irritable and lash out, etc. as just men acting out? Or do we consider that those are depression symptoms just as much as the ones we see in the media every day? (Which are almost always women looking very sad, and mostly white women at that.)

    Frankly, if I considered being irritable, drinking and acting out as just part of being a man, I probably wouldn’t even know to talk about my mental health. We need to be sure and talk about all aspects of mental health, and what symptoms might look like, before we can expect people to know enough to talk.

    For men, we may not be doing a good enough job.

  • Mental Health and Elections

    We have to address societal issues that cause harm. Politicians who don’t address both the lack of mental health resources and the various political issues that actively harm the mental health of all of us don’t deserve our vote. If you consider yourself a mental health advocate, consider how your representatives have voted and where they stand on these issues. Have they cut mental health funding, opposed mental health support in schools, or supported laws that cause active mental harm to some segments of the population?

    Consider that before you go to the voting booth this year.
