Internet Watch Foundation has found a manual on dark web encouraging criminals to use software tools that remove clothing. The manipulated image could then be used against the child to blackmail them into sending more graphic content, the IWF said.

There's a huge difference between teaching sex acts and helping kids avoid predators.

The lack of action against pedophiles is just going to fuel Qanon conspiracy theories and lead to vigilantism.

Neither QAnon nor the federal government cares much about kids. A guarantee of food and medical care would save a lot more lives than hunting child predators. Most child sexual abuse comes from people they know: parents, relatives, ministers, teachers, neighbors. Online stalkers count for a very tiny portion of crimes against children.

This is a moral panic piece, like terrorism scare pieces in the 2010s

That doesn't mean we need to divert attention away from pedophilia.

Yes, that's exactly what that means. Stop falling for the circus show. Anarchists, communists, gays, terrorists, trans people, pedophiles. Do you see the pattern ? A common enemy is a powerful thing to wield. It doesn't matter if they exist or how many there are. The unbelievers are witches anyway, burn them, BURN THEM !
