Discord announces child safety changes to curb AI-generated child sex abuse material – Legal comments from Danielle Vincent from Hugh James Solicitors

The head of trust and safety at gaming chat app Discord has announced this week that it is changing its child safety policies. This announcement has come following an NBC News investigation into child safety on the platform, following concerns around teen dating and artificially generated child sex abuse material finding its way into these platforms.
This move by Discord highlights the importance of popular chat apps taking proactive steps to address a serious and pervasive issue where sexually themed images are frequently created on these servers. This year, AI-generated child sex images have escalated across the internet and it is vital that these platforms work on banning AI depictions of child sexual abuse and even the sexualisation of children in text chats.
Danielle Vincent, lawyer in the sex abuse team at Hugh James Solicitors, says:
“It has been well established that sexual abuse predators target children or vulnerable people in the virtual world, whether that be social media sites or gaming forums.
The growth in children having access to technology from younger ages, often unsupervised, exposes a huge risk unbeknown to guardians. Children often have their own smart phones and laptops in their bedrooms, spending hours on seemingly innocent sites.
We saw a large increase in online usage during the covid lockdown, which also increased risks of grooming of minors. Grooming often takes places over extended periods of time, and such forums allow extensive access to children such under the guise of something rather innocent.
Artificial intelligence has itself become a massive worry recently with regard to sexual abuse; we have seen deep fakes become more and more realistic and more so using apps to create and spread child sexual abuse images.
The announcement by Discord’s head of trust and safety is welcome – any policies that increase safety of children or vulnerable online is a big step forward and can only be a positive. That being said, there still is a long way to go, and many other platforms need to continue to evaluate their safeguarding policies. Policies will need to be under continuous review as technology is ever evolving.
Those who use such sites to groom children could face criminal conviction, being placed on the sex offenders register and potential civil claim action against them.
Sites which fail to protect often face loss of sponsorship and funding as was seen with Pornhub following an investigation that much of the material online included children’s images and adults where consent had not been obtained.”
