The Jardí de Granollers School, where the teacher arrested for possessing over 100,000 child pornography files worked, has stated that he will not be reinstated. "He is completely prohibited from any form of contact, in person or digital," adds the center in a message sent to families, explaining that they never had any indication or suspicion about the teacher, nor any complaint against him.

The Spanish government wants the Public Prosecutor's Office to clarify whether the artificial intelligence (AI) of X is committing crimes related to the distribution of child pornography and sexual violence against children. This AI, Grok, has produced images of a sexual nature and violence against children at the request of platform users. Therefore, the Ministry of Youth and Children has asked the State Attorney General's Office to investigate whether this could constitute a crime of child pornography. In any case, the ministry considers that these images created by the AI at the request of users represent "a practice that cannot be understood as a neutral use of technology." The ministry, headed by Minister Sira Rego, believes that all of this could constitute a crime of child pornography and a crime against moral integrity. "It is essential that the Public Prosecutor's Office analyze these extremely serious events and promote the necessary actions to guarantee the protection of children online as well," stated the minister, who criticized the "violation of fundamental rights" in the dissemination of these images. The letter that Minister Sira Rego has sent to the Public Prosecutor's Office also recalls the precedent of a sentence handed down last June by a juvenile court in Badajoz, which convicted several people for manipulating images of girls and teenagers with AI. Protecting children on the internet

Furthermore, the ministry noted that Congress is currently processing the organic law for the protection of minors in digital environments, with the aim of strengthening the dignity, safety, and rights of children in the digital space. The law seeks to protect their integrity and personal privacy against new risks related to the use of technologies such as AI, always prioritizing the best interests of the child. According to the ministry, this initiative is part of a strategy to create safe digital environments, recognizing that the internet and digital platforms were not designed with children in mind and that it is essential to ensure that minors can develop without violence, undue exposure, pedophilia, and exploitation.

On Tuesday night TV3 was broadcasting Overexposed childhood, one Non-fiction devastating and deeply disturbing for everything it reveals in a clear and compelling way. The documentary warns of the risks posed by exposing minors to social media. "It's on social media, and also in video games, where pedophiles begin their activity. The reason is that that's where minors congregate," says a squad member specializing in cybersecurity. But what we might have thought we already knew takes on more worrying dimensions as the story progresses. Because what the documentary masterfully does is not focus on our perspective (which we already know) but on the perspective of these pedophiles. And we discover this, precisely, through the testimony of one of them. His anonymity is preserved, by the way, without any sinister staging. A man hiding behind a glass screen, his voice distorted by AI without any shocking sounds, clarifying that he has served time in prison and is undergoing rehabilitation through a foundation specializing in pedophilia. "Many people think that posting a picture of their son or daughter at the beach or playing basketball is fine and nothing will happen. But an image that a person doesn't attach any importance to can be the best thing for a pedophile. If I have a brutal sexual desire at that moment and I feel like, speaking clearly about my mother, masturbating, yes, I do masturbate, physically I don't need to be naked." Social media is compared to an all-you-can-eat buffet where any image, no matter how innocent it may seem, serves to feed their sexual perversions. It's not about how we perceive it, but how pedophiles view and consume it. The choice of witnesses participating in the documentary is excellent. They all have a very well-defined role regarding what they must contribute to the story. It's not a simple dumping ground for statements. Beyond experts in different fields linked to both the digital world and human behavior, the documentary uses the figure of the influencers professionals to test them and conduct an empirical exercise: confronting them with the reality of the data they reveal about their children without realizing it, and the risks to which they expose the children. And the result is sensational, even demonstrating the defensive behavior they adopt and how they enter a phase of denial that, for the viewer, can no longer be rejected.

Stephenville is a small town of 20,000 inhabitants in Texas, in the south-east of the United States. The postal code of this typical American town, with wide streets and houses facing the four winds, is 76401. In one of these houses lived Bradley Cadenhead, a boy with a difficult adolescence, besieged by young people of his age. He found his refuge in the computer, and in video games. He communicated, above all, through Discord, a messaging application that he began to use with an increasingly dark purpose. In 2020, when he was 25 years old, Cadenhead laid the first stone of an extremist and violent network, which encouraged its members to exchange child pornography and images of acts of extreme sexual violence. To choose the name of the group, he looked at his city: the first three digits of the postal code of Stephenville, 764. Now the name of this group has reached the Valencian Community.
