Someone suggested I deserved an honour for the work I do with online child safety. My first reaction was embarrassment. Not the false kind. The real kind. Because the people who actually keep children safe are parents, teachers and volunteers doing the hard work nobody sees.

Fully agree!

The Lords just banned "barely legal" porn and step-incest content. It passed by one vote. The government tried to block it. Half of UK child sexual abuse cases involve step-parents. This content normalises what happens to real children. It still needs to survive the Commons.

Welcome home Artemis II

I want to return to a time where we only heard about the US President once every 4 years on this side of the pond! Not every 4 minutes!

When an AI tool recommends an action and an employee carries it out, audit logs capture a legitimate human decision. The AI's role disappears. Addressing that blind spot takes more than awareness training. https://zeltser.com/ai-influence-awareness-training

I turned a holiday photo into a fake AI video of Joe Marler promoting my blog. It took 30 seconds, a free tool, and zero technical skill.

The problem is that you currently don't have a free media, so many people in the US aren't seeing it the way we see it around the world 😔

Even Joe Marler things you need to be subscribed to the Cyber Safety Guy blog www.cybersafetyguy.com

A 27-year-old software bug was found this week. Not by a human researcher. By an AI. That AI is part of Project Glasswing, announced by Anthropic yesterday. Palo Alto Networks, where I work, is one of the founding partners.

I used to love a #Taco now I can't look at them the same way ever again 😂

A Meta engineer allegedly downloaded 30,000 private Facebook images from the inside, using a script built to avoid detection. Meta caught it. He was sacked. Police are investigating. But "private" is a setting. Not a guarantee.

The dark web sounds like a thriller movie. For UK teens, it's closer. A YouTube video, a gaming dare, a TikTok link. That's all it takes. Here's what parents actually need to know. 🧵

Twisted firestarter!

It's all about the fire tonight 🔥

Predator hunter videos get millions of views. But how many of those cases actually make it to court? I looked into an organisation that works exclusively with law enforcement. 100% conviction rate. The full breakdown is on my Substack now. cybersafetyguy.com

Something I hear from parents all the time. "I paired my account with my child's Instagram. Set up all the controls. And then they just made another account." It's called a shadow account.

Happy new year from Colleen, Leffe and me xx

Good old Donald coming to the rescue!

We'll identify a direct correlation between rapists and their AI companion usage. There's zero chance that "I never say no" doesn't warp the brains of men, many of whom have a poor understanding of consent in the first place.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

Boxing day sorted! #strangerthings #netflix

Email from "A" in "Balmoral" asked Ghislaine Maxwell for "inappropriate friends" 🤢 www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c3...

I just wrote an article about this and decided not to publish it yet. It is in the DOJ files (file got renamed after originally published and taken down. It’s online now). But too many unknowns about whether the letter itself is real or not. Some additional info though:

This is important, because while YouTube will almost certainly take this down, @ddosecrets.com won't.
