Join World Without Exploitation and The WorldWE Youth Coalition for Dissecting Online Exploitation: Invasive Algorithms and the Experience of Young People Today to be held on Monday, October 20th at 12pm Eastern.
This webinar will explore the complex and harmful role algorithms play on social media platforms. Young people are the target of these algorithmic systems that push and amplify dangerous content, which leaves them vulnerable online.
Within this system, young people are more susceptible than ever to being groomed for sexual exploitation. Harmful content pushed by these algorithms normalizes and glamorizes OnlyFans, pornography, and sugaring, which sanitizes the harms of the Digital Sex Trade. Young people, regardless of their life circumstances, are vulnerable to sexual exploitation because of these harmful narratives.
Moderated by Policy Associate at World Without Exploitation, Bella Peracchi, this conversation will feature writer Paris Mwendwa, Youth Coalition Chair Alexandria Smith, and Policy Analyst at World Without Exploitation, Dahlia Edidin Locke—young leaders who have grown up with social media and witnessed firsthand how the digital sex trade is shaping their generation. We’ll share policy solutions and actions we can all take to better protect this generation online.
