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.

and that is a way to abuse that technology that never crossed my mind. do I actually belong to this species?!
Yes, you do. We all have the potential for the most horrific acts of evil you can imagine in the right circumstances. That’s why we usually have such a hard time when we give people power to rule over others and need a convoluted system of checks and balances to make sure nobody becomes a dick. Yet it still happens. Benevolence is not the default human state. You have to work to stay that way. That ability separates us from the brutal world of the wild.
Be honest: you never had any dark thoughts? Never did anything bad?
Yes, you might not be doing this particular bad thing. Yes, your inhibition of your dark thoughts might be better. Yes, you might be very sheltered and have a loving upbringing.
But I’m pretty sure if you truly look inside yourself without shying away, you will see that yes, you belong to this species.
oh sure. fleeting flights of fancy. thats why people get killed in moments of passion type of thing. but think about it. they have the thoughts about the kids and they have ai that pretty much should theoretically get what they want but no. that is not good enough. they need to use it to extort them. this really is beyond me. im pretty sure in this scenario I would stop at jacking to the ai solution. its like I might kill someone to defend my life or a loved ones life or maybe an innocents life and maybe I could be angry enough to do it as well. but like kill just to kill or something. thats wack.
I do have some dark thoughts at time.
But they never include minors.
You: Yeah sure, but I never did this particular bad thing.
Welcome to the species, bud. We’re all a little mad here.
