Summary
Australia’s eSafety watchdog slams major tech giants for failing to stop sextortion—blackmailing victims with intimate images—highlighting gaping holes in detection, especially for minors. Over 2,000 complaints in six months tied to Instagram and WhatsApp, with iMessage and Snapchat posing risks for teens. Criminals use threats to extort cash, while platforms remain reactive, ignoring existing tech like language analysis. Only Microsoft uses proactive detection; experts demand safety be built into design, not patched after harm occurs.
