AFP releases glossary of terms used by some sex predators to groom children

 

The AFP is today releasing a glossary of acronyms and emojis that can be used by child predators who engage in sexualised communication online and via text message.

 

The glossary has been developed from information contained in investigations and reports undertaken by the AFP-led Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE) and AFP child protection teams across Australia.

 

Many students are receiving their own tablets and mobile phones for the first time ahead of their return to school, and some may start receiving unsolicited text messages or emails.

 

This resource has been produced to help educate parents and carers about the tactics of child sexual predators, some of whom use acronyms or language to escape adult detection or pretend to be a young person to encourage communication.

 

Young people can be coerced by adults or peers to take naked pictures of themselves, and send those images via email or text. These images are hard to contain once transmitted and the damage and stigma caused can be life-long.

 

There is a growing trend of self-produced child exploitation material. These images, which are often being posted online without the knowledge or permission of the victim, are also being identified in the child abuse material held by child sex offenders.

 

Parents and carers know best when it comes to determining what content is appropriate when educating their children about social media and online child exploitation. While the glossary may provide insight for parents and carers, it also enables parents to ask their children to let them know if they are receiving certain terms or emojis in an email or text.

 

This glossary adds to the other wealth of information available for parents and carers at the ThinkUKnow program, an AFP-led education program designed to prevent online child sexual exploitation.

 

AFP Commander for the ACCCE Hilda Sirec said parents and careers could consider the glossary and ThinkUKnow content, and then tailor-make an online safety conversation suitable for their children.

 

Commander Sirec said online investigators regularly saw cases of child sex offenders exploiting their knowledge of hidden meanings in their attempts to groom children.

 

She said the glossary was not a definite or exhaustive list of terms, and some terms could mean different things. These terms and inappropriate use of emojis are not condoned by the AFP.

 

"Predators have schooled themselves in the language of emojis, emoticons and acronyms in order to groom their victims and the AFP is urging all parents and carers to familiarise themselves with this glossary,'' Commander Sirec said.

 

"Understanding how to interpret the messages your children are sending or receiving, such as "NP4NP" which can mean "nude pic for nude pic" or a bowl of noodles emoji, which can represent "nude pictures", could provide a critical clue that a child is at risk of being groomed or engaging in risky behaviour that could put them in harm's way.

 

"Some terms, slang or emojis may seem to be innocent symbols, however, they may signal a highly-sexualised conversation.

 

"When these emojis or acronyms are being sent from predators, they are an extremely dangerous grooming weapon that can lead to children being coerced into self-producing child abuse material or to set up a face-to-face meeting.

 

"We really need parents to explain to their children that people online are not always who they claim to be."

Democrat Governor Tony Evers Panics After Judge Rules Ballot Drop Boxes Illegal in the State

 

In January Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael Bohren issued a summary judgment decision banning ballot drop boxes in the state.

 

Judge Bohren also banned illegal ballot harvesting in the state.

 

The Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) issued memos to Wisconsin clerks in March and August of 2020 encouraging the use of ballot boxes, saying absentee ballots do not need to be mailed by the voter or delivered by the voter, in person, to the municipal clerk, but instead could be dropped into a drop box. According to WEC, ballot drop boxes can be unstaffed, temporary, or permanent.

 

This advice was contrary to state law. In January Judge Bohren put an end to this illegal practice.

 

This new ruling is very disturbing to Wisconsin Democrats. On Wednesday Governor Tony Evers sent out a panicked fundraising letter attacking Republicans for eliminating dropboxes in Wisconsin.

 

How are Democrats supposed to win if they canโ€™t cheat? Itโ€™s Un-American!

Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest launches criminal proceedings against Facebook over false cryptocurrency advertisements

 

Australian billionaire mining magnate Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest has launched criminal proceedings against social media giant Facebook, alleging the company has breached Australia's money laundering laws by failing to prevent false cryptocurrency advertisements.

Key points:

 

Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest alleges Facebook was "criminally reckless" by failing to take down false cryptocurrency scam advertisements using his image

He says he was motivated to launch proceedings to protect everyday Australians from being targeted by similar schemes on the social media site

An initial hearing into the matter will be held in the WA Magistrates Court next month

 

In the proceedings lodged in the Western Australia Magistrates Court, Mr Forrest alleges the company repeatedly failed to take down posts by scammers that use his image to promote cryptocurrency investments, which have appeared on the website since March 2019.

 

He claims that Facebook was "criminally reckless" by failing to take down the false advertisements on the platform, and that the company breached Australia's money-laundering laws by not doing enough to stop the scams.

 

Mr Forrest also alleges that Facebook โ€” which has since rebranded to Meta โ€” "failed to create controls or a corporate culture to prevent its systems being used to commit crime".

 

The criminal proceedings come after Mr Forrest requested Facebook prevent his image being used to promote cryptocurrency schemes, including in an open letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in November 2019.

 

In a statement, Mr Forrest said he was launching the "world-first" action on behalf of "everyday Australians" to protect their savings from being "swindled away by scammers".

 

"Iโ€™m concerned about innocent Australians being scammed through clickbait advertising on social media," he said.

 

"Iโ€™m committed to ensuring that social media operators donโ€™t allow their sites to be used by criminal syndicates."
