In this context, Meta encouraged British men with Instagram accounts to use Threads by showing them photos of young teenage girls in uniform taken at the start of the school year and shared by users of its network, explains the Guardian.

It's a rainy morning as the old man drags himself out of a bed that is more like a torture device, sagging lumpy and void of support it offers no comfort other than forcing the old man to fall to the floor each night where he would be doomed to stay for he is often to weak to rise from the ground, shuffling off to start his coffee, his hands ache with stiffness the humidity brings, as the classical music plays it offers no comfort other than it is routine, to the toilet he finds his bowels are inflamed, looking in the mirror his hair and beard disheveled no strength to care, waiting for his first cup, the old man stampers off to clear out his chair, for each night to lie down what's on his bed has to go to his chair and the reverse each morning for no room to live within this dark damp cave, as he struggles to pour a cup he gives up at half a cup, for holding the pot hurts to much, after trying to carefully packing his pipe with tobacco with his coffee in shaky hands he stumbles outside, darkness fills the hot humid air, late in September and it feels more like July, the rain drizzles down as he struggles to open his umbrella, standing in the morning rain covered in pain, the world begins to stir unaware the old mans needs are everywhere;

The Guardian uses — and then hides/recants — photos of schoolgirl in article targeting fearful parents; perhaps we need a better conversation?
If, like me, you’re a parent, there’s a good chance that you woke up on Saturday to outraged fellow parents on various group chats, sharing a story from the Guardian:
Exclusive: Instagram pictures of girls as young as 13 were posted to promote Threads site ‘as bait’, campaigner says
With a very bait-like photograph immediately beneath / as part of the share-card, which I strongly suspect contributed to the article’s viral appeal:
The article cites an anonymous man – identified only as “Campaigner” or “Recipient” or “Instagram user” – who (for the moment, ignoring the rest of the article) we learn:
Meta has used back-to-school pictures of schoolgirls to advertise one of its social media platforms to a 37-year-old man, in a move parents described as “outrageous” and “upsetting”.
The man noticed that posts encouraging him to “get Threads” […] were being dropped into his Instagram feed featuring embedded posts of uniformed girls as young as 13 with their faces visible and, in most cases, their names. […]
The recipient told the Guardian the posts felt “deliberately provocative and ultimately exploitative of the children and families involved”. […]
The man who received the posts said that as he was only sent promotional posts of schoolgirls – there were no boys in school uniform, for example – there appeared to be “an aspect of sexualisation”. […]
The 37-year-old Instagram user from London who received the posts and asked to remain anonymous said: “Over several days I was repeatedly served Meta adverts for Threads that exclusively featured parents’ images of their daughters in school uniform, some revealing their names. As a father, I find it deeply inappropriate for Meta to repurpose these posts in targeted promotion to adults.”
He said he had not posted or liked any similar images before he was sent the schoolgirl pictures.
“To me, showcasing such content as trending or popular feels deliberately provocative and ultimately exploitative of the children and families involved, putting their online safety at risk.”
So what’s wrong here?
First up: I have to give credit to the journalist, Robert Booth, for at least attempting (“any similar images“) to recognise that IF YOU CLICK ON STUFF THEN THE ALGORITHM WILL TRY TO SERVE YOU MORE OF THE SAME STUFF.
This is why you get so many people, hooked in an hate/love outrage loop, saying: “My feed is nothing but fascism and I hate it, I keep on clicking on the links and checking and yes, social media is serving me nothing but evil content!” — the solution to which is (a) don’t click on the links, and (b) find a pulldown menu option saying something like “Show Me Less Of This” (or, “Show Me More Of This”) which should be the hallmark of a good algorithmic feed-based platform.
What Robert / the Campaigner presumably don’t consider — and certainly don’t mention — is that this algorithmic boosting happens in real time, so much so that you can be scrolling sideways in a gallery and it will be working out what to show next you on the basis of what you engaged with only moments before, caching its decisions temporarily (until you scroll away for an extended period) in order to maintain consistency.
This is less a matter of long-term profiling than “if you’ve engaged with this, then maybe you will engage with that” which — like it or not — is a standard sales tactic around the world: would you like to supersize that choice?
So my personal feeling is that if the Campaigner is the sort of person to click on stuff that outrages him, then he’s going to get a lot more outraged and that’s kind of where everyone is at the moment.
Secondly: Meta are telling the truth. The images are public, and under the terms which people use Instagram & Threads, they may be used for such.
If you don’t like it, make the images private and share them only amongst friends.
So… let’s dig into privacy for a bit. Back to the article:
Privacy versus Unstated Expectations
Meta and all the other big platforms have recently been roasted by the Online Safety Act, causing them to lock down access to childens’ accounts — or at least that what politicians want you to believe, however a lot of the constraints to keep kids safe online are years if not 1+ decades old.
But what if it’s the parent who posts the photograph?
So I was reading the Guardian article on my Android phone, and out of curiosity I tapped and held-down the big central button — thereby launching Google Lens and Google Image Search — and I circled the image which the Guardian had chosen to post the article with.
This immediately (“Images Similar To This”) led me to mother Sarah Dart’s posting on Instagram — which is public and visible to the world — with approving comments from (presumably) her circle of friends:
…although with immediate, critical and crude “don’t post private pictures” commentary on the related automatic reposting to Threads.
If we pick through the article focusing on commentary that is probably attributable to Sarah:
[Image Caption] The mother whose Instagram picture of her 15-year-old daughter was used in a post advertising Threads said she had ‘no idea’ it would be used as a promotion.
[The mother] said she posted the picture to a public Instagram account. The posts of their children were highlighted to the stranger as “suggested threads”. […]
The mother of a 15-year-old whose picture was used in a promotional post that featured a large “Get Threads” button said: “For me it was a picture of my daughter going to school. I had no idea Instagram had picked it up and are using it as a promotion. It’s absolutely disgusting. She is a minor.”
She said she would have refused consent and “not for any money in the world would I let them use a girl dressed in a school uniform to get people on to [its platform]”.
With 267 followers, her Instagram account usually had modest reach but the post of her child attracted nearly 7,000 views, 90% from non-followers, half of whom were aged over 44 and 90% of whom were men.
My perspective is that Sarah’s wants are absolutely fair, but it seems odd to me that she posted a photo — one of such quality that for some reason the Guardian photo editor picked it up to illustrate the story — and shared it with the world rather than just with a circle of friends. Sarah has had a Threads account since November 2024 but it has little content, so it could be that she forgot that her Threads account exists and that this was essentially an unpleasant surprise… but the photo is still public on Instagram and it’s tagged with the location of Exeter — so anyone could stumble across it via that means, too.
One of the other things you find from Sarah’s Threads account is that Robert created his own and reached-out to her:
…which — reading his other posts — then means that you can find the names of all the other people he reached out to:
Let’s ignore the joint failures of operational security and of source protection — the Guardian are generally pretty good at that stuff, maybe Robert just needs a refresher — but these messages lead us to Jade, Lau, and Katie, who all have private Instagram accounts, some of whom actively use their Threads accounts for typical purposes, and one or more of whom (or their partners) are cited:
One mother said her account was set to private, but the posts were automatically cross-posting to Threads where they were visible. […]
The father of a 13-year-old who appeared in one of the posts said it was “absolutely outrageous”. The images were all of schoolgirls in short skirts with either bare legs or stockings.
“When I found out an image of her has been exploited in what felt like a sexualised way by a massive company like that to market their product it left me feeling quite disgusted,” he said. […]
Another mother whose post of her 13-year-old was used in a promotional post said: “Meta did all of this on purpose, not informing us, as they want to generate content. It’s despicable. And who is responsible for creating that Threads ad using children’s photos to promote the platform for older men?”
It’s interesting to observe that the parents have apparently been approached by Robert with the frame “Threads [is] using children’s photos to promote the platform for older men” as if this was an intentional marketing tactic, as opposed to “Some Guy Clicked On A Schoolgirl Photo And Was Served More Of The Same” — which would be less outrageous.
What I would strongly criticise Meta regarding is that they’re not nagging people enough about the existence of crossposting between Instagram, Threads and Facebook itself.
As a heavy Threads user I get frequent popups along the lines of:
Do You Wish To Keep Sharing Your Threads Posts Into The [Mastodon, ActivityPub] Fediverse?
…but there’s far less (some, but far less) of this for mutual sharing between Meta-owned platforms (Instagram to Threads, Instagram to Facebook) — probably because it’s not such a significant unaddressed legal risk when posts are automatically re-shared within the Meta ecosystem.
But Robert is not doing that, and worse I feel like his whole article is actually framed to convey a subtext along the parodical lines of:
Exclusive! Meta are actively attempting to grow Threads readership and engagement by attracting pervy men via posting sexualised pictures of young girls dressed in school uniform in short skirts with either bare legs or stockings. Photos like, for example, this one: [illustration]
That the Guardian have slightly recognised this hypocrisy may be illustrated by the fact that they subsequently changed the headline image to a stock photo; however this may also be a belated attempt to preserve the privacy of Sarah and her daughter — a young woman who has her own, private Instagram account.
As ever, Baroness Kidron gets a shout-out:
Beeban Kidron, a crossbench peer and campaigner for children’s rights online, said: “Offering up school-age girls as bait to advertise a commercial service is a new low even for Meta.
“At every opportunity Meta privileges profit over safety, and company growth over children’s right to privacy. It is the only reason that they could think it appropriate to send pictures of schoolgirls to a 37-year-old man – as bait – Meta is a wilfully careless company.”
She called on the regulator Ofcom to consider if measures, introduced this summer to prevent unknown adults connecting to children, make clear that “companies cannot offer sexualised images of children as bait to unknown men”.
…but, but, but, the photos were posted by the parents, and the “Campaigner” is the one who “sexualised” them:
The recipient told the Guardian the posts felt “deliberately provocative and ultimately exploitative” […] there appeared to be “an aspect of sexualisation”
Who is the wilfully careless person in this scenario, and who is the wilfully sexualising one? Not the parents? Not the guy who is so offended that he has to keep clicking thorough to establish (quote) “parents’ images of their daughters in school uniform, some revealing their names”?
Lessons
Trying to wrap this up:
Experiment
As an experiment, as a parent, and subsequent to my clicking for this investigation around the Guardian article, I scrolled down my Instagram feed to find the Threads recommendation box, and what did I find?
…and if you click through you find a Threads posting with 4 Million views and some savage child-protection commentary from Threads users:
How are you, dear reader, going to feel about this?

"Die Konsequenzen von KI für juristische Haus- und Seminararbeiten"
#OpenAccess hier: https://seanfobbe.com/de/posts/2025-09-19_konsequenzen-ki-juristische-hausarbeiten-seminararbeiten/
Die Veröffentlichung von ChatGPT ist nun bald drei Jahre her und so langsam erreicht KI — gemeint sind damit fast immer Large Language Models (LLM) — auch die Breite der juristischen Ausbildung.
Ich habe mir vor zwei Jahren schon einmal in einem Essay über den Einsatz von LLMs in der juristischen Praxis Gedanken gemacht und bin mittlerweile so weit, dass ich auch etwas zur Rolle von LLMs in der Ausbildung schreiben möchte: konkret zur Zukunft von juristischen Haus- und Seminararbeiten, die als unbeaufsichtigte Prüfungsleistungen besonders von den generativen Fähigkeiten großer Sprachmodelle betroffen sind.
Wenn wir die Ausbildung von jungen Jurist:innen gegen die Wand fahren oder staatliche Strukturen vorschnell zerstören, dann können wir das vielleicht weder mit Geld noch mit jahrelangem Aufwand wieder reparieren.

#Umfrage: Mehrheit gegen sofortige #Anerkennung Palästinas
Laut einer repräsentativen Befragung unterstützt nur ein Drittel der Franzosen das Vorgehen von Präsident Emmanuel #Macron, der kommende Woche einen »Staat #Palästina« anerkennen will
>> Krusi:
Fast wie bei uns. Der französische Präsident setzt den Willen einer Minderheit der Franzosen um. Sollte das wirklich so sein? <<

Content warning:Request ( Fedi Based)
Could we maybe stop using this tag for personal vendettas and poorly sourced stuffs? It makes it hard to trust the content when we're reviewing bad actors.
Like yes, we get it, there are deep seated wars between parts of the fedi. But unless you're all willing to let a neutral outsider review and settle, there's no reason to involve the rest of us.


Late-Breaking Random Monday Thought (but not really):
Brits and Americans: You need to get with the rest of the world and move into modernity by ditching the imperial system of measurement.
Adopt the far simpler and more scientific metric system.
The imperial system is beloved by conservatives and retrograde sensibilities.
Let go of that thing you think is six inches but is really only six centimetres.

It's too bad #AirPlay doesn't seem to work well with #Jellyfin - I don't have #Netflix etc. to test if they work, but things like local media files, #YouTube, and some streams off of the web can be AirPlay-ed fine on my TV but not from the #iOS Jellyfin client. Most of the time, once they're casted, the AirPlay attempt would just crash. Otherwise it'd be a nice way to stream off of Jellyfin without actually downloading the app on the TV.

In the matter of Privacy, people go to two extremes.
One side says that "Privacy is about cat pictures & I have nothing to hide," while the other lives a life of a spy using a DeGoogle phone with Graphene OS, etc.
I think the balance lies somewhere in between. Be careful while sharing personal information. Use Signal, Brave, ProtonMail and other privacy focused apps on a regular phone.

Взгляд на самую большую проблему в мире ИИ, почему это важно для вас и почему это так ценно. Согласованность — одна из самых важных тем в современной области машинного обучения (ML). Независимо от того, являетесь ли вы пользователем продуктов ML, человеком, который их разрабатывает, или компанией, решающей с их помощью задачи, вам стоит знать и хорошо понимать, что такое согласованность.
