All about saving the children. From everybody except Prince Andrew, it seems.
- blowski 3y agoI don’t remember seeing this campaign. Are there any links?
- rentnorove 3y agoThis isn't the same ad as described in the article, but is a government funded Saatchi one from around the same time: https://www.noplacetohide.org.uk/ https://www.noplacetohide.org.uk/ > The campaign is funded by the UK Government and has been developed by a steering group of child safety organisations with support from M&C Saatchi.

- _bohm 3y agoSome anonymous entity has been putting up posters in my neighborhood decrying Apple for "allowing" CSAM to be stored on iCloud. Very creepy propaganda campaign.
- callalex 3y agoThose posters are almost certainly plastered up by someone who genuinely believes in the cause. They have been manipulated by corrupt media, but it is a tactical error to assume that a political party is directly paying for such poster campaigns.
