Is the internet a sanctuary or a minefield? For many, the digital world offers connection and support, but lurking in the shadows are platforms that exploit vulnerability and promote harmful content, including the deeply disturbing realm of incest and its devastating impact on survivors.

The internet, with its promise of anonymity and boundless reach, has unfortunately become a breeding ground for harmful content and exploitative communities. The seemingly innocent platforms designed for connection and communication are often hijacked to facilitate discussions and sharing of materials related to incest, sexual abuse, and other forms of exploitation. These activities, often shrouded in secrecy and fueled by anonymity, pose a significant threat to vulnerable individuals, especially those who have already experienced trauma.
