The same people that say it's rampant on social media are the same people that also still say the majority know their abuser (ie family members etc) - it's all narrative, no substance.
Also if it was as widespread as they claim, the statistical probability would mean that almost everyone knows one or more victims, that isn't the case either...
- LinuxBender 3y agoI know a few victims. Technology was never even part of the equation. The internet didn't even exist at least as we know it today. In every case that I know of it was coaches and family members. Even banning the internet entirely would not have prevented any of those cases.
- throwaway67743 3y agoExactly, I also know a few victims very well and the internet was not involved, because it's pretty much spray and pray versus a trusted friend or such where the chance of success nears 100% - this is why the whole argument is really disingenuous and really contemptible.
