The Guardian article on teen access to “Nudify Apps”
I apologize for bringing up a sensitive subject, but I came across this news article and given this community’s common threads regarding ties between Autism and AI I assumed this would be pertinent to share.
I have a major concern in general for how American teens are taught (or rather, not taught) about the role of consent in sexuality, and I believe that it is a topic that needs to be clearly defined to young Autistic men in particular. Autistic teens struggle with many social concepts, with the idea of clear consent being possibly one of those concepts.
If you happen to be a parent to an Autistic preteen/teen (regardless of gender / sexual identity), I implore you to have the difficult discussion of what “Nudify Apps” are and why they are horribly immoral. Not only that, but there’s the likelihood that images generated from it could get possessors in serious legal trouble.
I can see Autistic male teens in particular not understanding that if someone is unaware that you have sexually explicit material of them, that does not mean you are exempt from needing consent from them.
