I have a theory about that, but I don’t have anything outside of personal experience to back it up. I hit puberty after the adoption of the digital age but before the advent of smart phones. As such, I don’t know a single person who wasn’t sending nudes all through high school. Most of us started young.
Pair that with the info that basically every single powerful person either is or isn’t against being friends with pedophiles, the rampant data harvesting that companies have been doing for decades, and the fact that ai is trained on that data in bulk and scraping the internet, all of a sudden it seems like there’s probably a lot more csam in the hands of these businesses than there ever was in any of the places they demonized. There’s a good chance yours and mine are in that pile.
