Just double checking that I did right.
Without too many details, I was on social media and saw that an underage user (like 12 years old) had publicly posted a school picture of themselves and their friend - including their faces, the first name of one kid, and the logo of their school. They had also been engaging with content that had an age rating and wasnโt for kids, making that self doxxing even worse.
The report system refused to give me an appropriate option so I eventually just reported it as suspected child abuse material, explaining in the notes that I thought them posting their faces and school publicly could risk real life harm.
This was the right way to go about things, yes? My report options were extremely limited.
Iโm hoping that photo gets pulled down before it makes these kids a target
And the parents catch on to what their kid is doing
Did nobody teach these little goblins internet safety??
Itโs unfortunately the by product of a generation exposed to social media and kids not getting the proper education and also acknowledging that there are future consequences to what they post online.
They may have been taught and might not realise how important it is not to expose too much of your personal information online.
Anyway you did the right thing and I hope a resolution happens soon.
Thanks. Almost had a heart attack when I saw that. I really wish they taught these things in school and enforced them at home
