@humantorch1036 @SkyNews Hey Johnny, what I found interesting about talking to the researchers in this piece was that they think there may be a difference between older shows and modern content, which is cut to a much faster pace and may be much more overwhelming to young, developing brains.

Child predators are adapting fast; shifting to a business model where abuse hides in plain sight, just clicks away from people like you and me.

It's not an easy watch. It is an important one.

I've been speaking to @skynewsniall about Scattered Spider, the hacking group being linked to the M&S cyber attack. Is the hacking world becoming... corporate?
