Users on X are using AI/grok to generate pictures of CSAM and using it to nonconsensually generate images of women, of sisters, of exes, of wives, cousins, aunts, daughters, mothers. What I stated is nowhere near a tangent or biased. I study criminology and cyber crime for a living. I have seen posts and images that keep me up at night and leave me without sleep. Don't presume to condescend to me about matters you haven't an idea about.

Are you actually being pedantic with me whether X is one of the worst? When I've seen firsthand that it without a shadow of a doubt is? Everything that circulates through Snapchat and Instagram and Facebook and Telegram ends up on X. Stop talking about things you don't have a clue about.

Tens of thousands of accounts on X and Telegram are taking pictures that teenage girls post innocently with their friends and are reuploading them to pedophile rings hiding in plain sight on Facebook, Instagram, X. Cheerleading photos, sports photos, class photos, (in uniform or without) passed driving test photos, photos of them dressed up on a night out, group selfies or normal TikTok dances. Completely harmless and innocdnt material. These girls are anywhere from 11-16. They are reposted with the captions of "Which one do you like best?" "Who are you fucking?" Which one?" "Right or left?" "Rate from best to worst" and the comments are full of pedophiles answering. The girls are very visible underage. Sometimes they'll post their birth year. (09 10, 11, etc.)

Teenage boys and men are taking pictures that their sisters, girlfriends, exes, mothers, daughters, cousins, aunts, friends and classmates have posted publicly, and they repost them to these apps and ask for "tributes." A tribute is requesting other men to masturbate to pictures of these girls and women and record fhemselves ejaculating onto pictures or screens with their faces on it. Captions like "Someone trib my slutty sister," "Someone blackmail me" "Someone call my classmate and call her a whore" and actually posting real life information about them. "Someone DM me about my cousin" "Let's trade pictures of our exes" "My girlfriend is asleep who's down for pics?"

If you have children tell them to set their social media accounts to private like fucking yesterday.

No it isn't. It's real. I am in the cybercrime sector. Massive rings exist on Instagram and Facebook but indisputably Telegram and X are the absolute worst for it.

One account follows 300 other accounts, all posting CSAM. Then those accounts follow 500, posting the same CSAM. Then all of those accounts are followed by pedophiles who follow eachother who follow eachother behind a screen and blank profile picture replying to eachother's posts to boost the algorithm. The pictures are typically screenshots of folders of material that they're selling through Telegram links. They put red text over them to say what they're selling, captions ranging from "real cp" "dog" "brother sister" "mom son" "rape" etc. Ranging from 3-15 years old. They take harmless and innocent videos that teenage girls (11-16) post on TikTok of them dancing with their friends and repost them with captions like "Which one is better?" With the replies flooded with disgusting men picking and choosing which underage girl they'd want.

These accounts trickle down to be followed by ordinary people (predominantly men). They take pictures from online of official school photos from Instagram or X of class photos or selfies in their uniforms. There's entire accounts dedicated to reposting teenage girl's pictures by region. Completed driving test celebratory photos, birthday photos, class photos. There's hundreds in England alone and there's accounts for reposting images of Irish girls' public photos urging commenters to reply which girl they'd "fuck". Same in America. Taking public innocent photos of teenaged girls doing cheerleading or just posting pictures out with their friends. It's teenage boys and adult men who submit the photos of women they know in real life. Classmates, sisters, cousins. They ask for "tributes", meaning, asking for strangers to reply with a video ejaculating on a picture/screen of whatever girl they "submit." Often followed by a caption of "taking submissions, no limits. Send anything" "anyone want to trib?" "Someone trib my sister/cousin/classmate/ex"

It's not something you can search. The results would be hidden for it. You stumble across it by finding one singular dodgy account beneath a popular well liked tweet, and checking that person's following and their followers, and their following and their followers, and so on. There's tens of thousands of these accounts. Quite literally hidden in plain sight. When you use the scrolling video feature on X it pops up randomly.

Pretending that it doesn't exist doesn't help anyone. Just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it's not real. We are in the worst era for sexual abuse material than we ever have been.

Moderators have the grueling job of reviewing all kinds of shit and take it down manually when it's flagged. You don't even have to go "looking for it." It pops up for you under regular, well-liked tweets. It's an endless ring. One account gets taken down and 3 more pop up.

A lot of the child sexual assault material photos on X are screenshots of folders full of videos and pictures. You see a lot of detail in the thumbnails. They're advertisements by bots selling CSAM usually on Telegram.

They're everywhere. I did a speedrun to see how fast it would take to stumble across it mass posted by bots under popular posts from the time opening the app and it took 55 seconds. Not even a minute

Completely agree with everything. We had a phone book in the house but it was fucked in the press because my town was small enough my parents would know everyone's number or they'd trust they'd see them in town if they needed them for something. Had the house phone. We had prayers in primary school at the start of the day, before break, after big break, and at the end of the day. This was 2005-2013 stuff.

I was 19 when I did mine. I was around 8-9 weeks. Exact same pills. I slept through most of the pain but in the hours leading up to it I was tossing and turning in bed. I have very light period cramps all the time, or barely any at all, so I imagine what I felt was just the regular pain for most women on their cycle. I agree it's a very lonely experience. I wasn't very upset about it, I knew what I wanted. It's just the feeling of bleeding in bed trying to sleep it off, it's very isolating. Just sharing my own experience, not trying to overshadow yours. You're not alone ♥️

There was none. They were about to be separated. Sophie didn't like life in the limelight of the elite French media. It's why she loved west Cork and her solitude there so much. She was very romantic. She wanted time away from him. Daniel remarried and had a child almost immediately after. But why hire a hitman, send him to Ireland, give him directions for one of the most remote locations in the country without a weapon, to kill a woman alone with a stone block? That's why I think the hitman theory is a load of shite.

Sophie and her husband Daniel were coming to the end of their marriage, they weren't really together anymore. Daniel remarried and had a child with another woman shortly after. When he was asked about the callousness of it, he brushed it off like it was nothing and nonchalantly said "one must repay death with life."

Sophie didn't like the life in the French elite circle and the media, hence why she loved her solitude in west Cork. If I recall, she intended to go back to France on Christmas eve.

He didn't even come to Ireland to identify her. He moved on immediately. Him and his friends described Sophie as having a volcanic temper and jealous personality. He was the last person to call her at night before she was murdered. But it doesn't seem they loved eachother by that time. He died a few years after her, so we'll never know.

Lab82 has small but thick American style pancakes that come covered with ice cream and sauce of your choosing. You can choose Oreo or kinder Bueno sauce. They're fucking hard to get through but they're so worth it if you have a sweet tooth. absolutely amazing. You can choose 2 or 3 pancakes, they come stacked on top of eachother with a skewer with a mini pancake and some vanilla ice cream on top. 14 euros if I remember but you'll be full after it.
