A lot of the recent convo around #deepfakes, image-based abuse, and #csam has focused on legal interventions to address the problem. One thing we also want to consider is whether criminal justice professionals are properly trained and resourced to investigate these crimes.
I'm blue in the face reminding people we need to address root causes!
