Lawfare
The National Crime Agency says such groups are fuelling crimes including: fraud, violence and child sexual abuse.
Teenage boys are joining online gangs where they share sadistic and misogynistic material that fuels crimes including fraud, violence and child sexual abuse according to the director general of the National Crime Agency.
The Director General of the National Crime Agency has warned of a “deeply concerning” trend of online networks of predominantly teenage boys, dedicated to inflicting harm and committing a range of criminality. Graeme Biggar is calling on everyone - from law enforcement, to parents and carers, education professionals, and industry - to play their part in reducing the risk from “sadistic and violent online gangs”.
the warning went on
'These online forums or communities – referred to in the Assessment as “Com networks” – see offenders collaborate or compete to cause harm across a broad spectrum of criminality - both on and offline - including cyber, fraud, extremism, serious violence, and child sexual abuse.' 'Known reports of this emerging threat increased six-fold in the UK from 2022-2024. NCA analysts estimate that thousands of users – offenders and victims – based in the UK and other western countries have exchanged millions of messages online relating to sexual and physical abuse.'
'Although adults are involved in these online communities, of particular concern is that offenders are predominantly teenage boys that often share sadistic and misogynistic material, and have been seen to target those their own age or younger.' 'Offenders include a new generation of young, English-speaking cyber criminals who work together to execute data breaches and commit fraud, launch malware or ransomware attacks, and use social engineering and grooming techniques on victims.'
'The NCA and UK law enforcement have identified a number of cases in which girls, some as young as 11, have been coerced into seriously harming or sexually abusing themselves, siblings or pets.' 'In some instances, victims have been groomed into offending themselves.'
Director General Graeme Biggar, ironically looking like someone who should have his own hard-drive checked.
Director General Graeme Biggar goes on to claim:
“These groups are not lurking on the dark web, they exist in the same online world and platforms young people use on a daily basis. It is especially concerning to see the impact this is having on young girls who are often groomed into hurting themselves and in some cases, even encouraged to attempt suicide.'
“The NCA is coordinating UK law enforcement’s response to this emerging threat. We are collaborating with policing, tech companies, safeguarding agencies and psychologists to better understand how young people become offenders and safeguard victims.'
Jess Phillips, Minister for Safeguarding and 'Violence Against Women and Girls', said:
“The scale of child sexual abuse in this report is absolutely horrific and drives home the need for a co-ordinated response to tackle this global issue. “We have seen the heartbreaking impact of crimes such as grooming and sextortion on victims around the world—many of them children who have been blackmailed and manipulated into sharing images of themselves, which has devastatingly led to some children taking their own lives.
“This is why this government is using every lever at our disposal to make the UK a safer place for children online, including implementation of the Online Safety Act which has some of the strongest laws in the world to protect children. “My message to parents is to have open conversations with your children and to seek support if you are concerned about child sexual abuse.
“My message to tech companies is simple: this is your responsibility too. You must ensure your platforms are safe for children, so that we can protect the most vulnerable and put predators behind bars.”
The warning comes at the same time as Netflix drama 'Adolescence' was released. A drama that is claimed to be “the most brilliant TV drama in years” but is really the worst type of blatant PROPAGANDA that creates an entirely fictional world where the biggest danger to women and girls comes from white teenage boys. We know it's propaganda because the sadistic and murderous boys in the real-life drama of which it was based were black.
In Adolescence the white boy is supposedly turned into a sadistic monster who likes to attack girls by social media. The same 'message' being reported by the NCA.
The message is clear, young white boys are evil, they're all misogynists and potential rapists. They're all potentially:
Sharing extreme material, including sadistic content.
Hold ‘’misogynistic beliefs,’
Participating in ‘Criminal Activities’ such as ‘fraud’,
Participating in 'online violence',
Participating in child sexual abuse.
The NCA are said to be 'alarmed' by the rise in these groups, but fail to say exactly
how big the threat really is, what laws they are actually breaking, and what links such a wide variety of ‘criminal activity’ when there is little if any evidence that mysoginy and child sexual abuse are practiced by the same people, save perhaps the odd transgender man.
Likewise the suggestion pf ‘extreme material’ is very vague. Are they meaning snuff-videos, or just Andrew Tate memes? And what exactly do they mean by ‘sadistic content’? Sadism is the taking of pleasure of inflicting pain and suffering on another human being, how are teenagers able to do that online when it’s a physical activity? Are we expected to believe that, all of a sudden, we have bred a generation of extreme perverts?
The NCA are also less than forthcoming with exactly how teenage boys are committing fraud on the internet. What sort of fraud? Bank fraud? Identity fraud? Scientific fraud? Are we to believe that these gangs of extreme perverts are also criminal masterminds?
This all sounds very much like a lie. How many Pedophile sadists, that hold Mysogynistic beliefs are also online fraudsters exactly? Imagine the Venn diagram showing that! And as for 'gangs' of these teens that sounds highly improbable if not laughable.
There aren't massive gangs of violent, women hating boys prowling the internet, despite what the Government would have you believe. This is a re-imagining of what it is to be a teenage boy. Pranks, sick humour, porn, and dangerous behaviours are all part of being a teen boy.
Think the Inbetweeners not Jeffrey Dahmar.
