Young men report more ‘sextortion’ than any other age group, Australia’s online safety watchdog says

Young men are increasingly the targets of 'sextortion,' with over 2,000 complaints reported to Australia’s online safety regulator in just six months last year. A report from eSafety highlights significant shortcomings in how major tech companies address online sexual exploitation and child sexual abuse, as cases continue to surge. This alarming trend underscores the urgent need for stronger measures and more effective collaboration among tech firms to combat these growing threats, especially as they disproportionately affect younger demographics.
