The joint federal and state competence center claims to be doing everything it can to prevent such cases from happening
again, but in fact the situation is getting worse and worse.
How dangerous are online content and chats really? And is there perhaps something else behind it?
Children and young people often spend many hours a day on social media.
They follow new trends, want to have fun, present and compare themselves with their peers.
They are looking for models and answers to their questions and problems.
In doing so, they almost inevitably come across content that encourages them to engage in extremely
risky behavior and sometimes even endangers their lives.
Some things are advertised as a lifestyle, stylized as a solution to a problem or imposed as a test of courage.
The young people are often subjected to enormous social pressure through exclusion or bullying.
Kla.TV shows how young people perceive this themselves in the #SoSehIchs section.
The social media platforms are like another world.
A world that can win everyone over if you let it.
She influences us young people to a very extreme degree and I can understand why she can do that.
Here, young people are among themselves and it doesn't matter what goes wrong in your life.
However, there are more dangers here than we can actually assess.
Challenges are circulating on TikTok - which could also be seen as a test of courage - such as the "deodorant challenge",
the "cinnamon challenge" or the "blackout challenge".
What are these challenges? The "deodorant challenge" could also be called the "burn challenge", as you spray
deodorant on your arms and other parts of your body until you have severe burns on your skin.
The aim of this challenge is: who can hold out the longest?
The principle of the "cinnamon challenge" is simple: you take cinnamon and pour it into your
mouth and down your throat ... and that's it.
In some cases, this challenge leads to unconsciousness and there is also a risk of suffocation.
The "Blackout Challenge", for example, is a challenge where you strangle yourself to the point of unconsciousness.
Many do this because of the click figures, but also because it is supposed to trigger a "kick".
I asked myself: why do young people do such challenges, why do they do these things to themselves?
Recognition and attention online are important to everyone, aren't they?
I mean, who doesn't want to be admired by lots of people?
Many may not have a solution to their problems, worries or fears - the virtual world offers
distraction and probably also a certain escape.
I also have my worries and problems. My best experience is to stay in the real world and
address and solve things in the real world.
What helps me is also talking to my parents.
This is my appeal to you and your parents: talk to each other, help each other and be open with each other!
[Moderator: It's frightening what our children are confronted with via their cell phones.
I must confess that I had never heard of a "cinnamon challenge", which has just been reported on,
until this program. Perhaps you feel the same way?
However, this was only a first glimpse into the world of tests of courage.
There are many more of them, like the "skull crusher challenge" and so on.
The latest trends are AI systems that are now able to create pornographic material individually and as desired.
And unfortunately, leveraging the protection mechanisms is child's play in the truest sense of the word.
According to the 2023 annual report by jugendschutz.net, cases in Spain show how easily young people can become victims.
There - and I quote - "pupils used AI to produce and circulate naked pictures of their classmates
- with dramatic consequences for those affected".
There are other dangers mentioned in the annual report: Quote:
"With the help of chatbots and voice generators, strangers can pretend to be their peers even more easily.
They can build trust with their victims more easily, access sensitive personal information and
misuse it for grooming purposes." End of quote.
Grooming is the term used to describe the targeted contact of adults with minors with the intention
of abusing them by gradually gaining their trust.
There are more and more cases of organized crime by paedocriminals who use the internet for their own purposes.
The question rightly arises here: Who is actually responsible for ensuring that such things are prevented?
The answer is easy to find: It is the 14 state media authorities of the federal states - they are responsible for the
protection of minors in Germany and the supervision of content.
Their obligations are clearly regulated in the Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Minors in the Media (JMStV).
This clearly calls for the - quote: "protection of children and young people from offers in electronic information and
communication media that impair or endanger their development or education ...". And how does this work in practice?
Through continuous observation (a special AI is used here, the results are finally
assessed by humans) and with the help of complaints.
This is done centrally by the Commission for the Protection of Minors in the Media (KJM).
It also works together with the Federal Center for Child and Youth Media Protection (BzKJ).
It reports to the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.
The so-called "competence center" of the Commission for the Protection of Minors in the Media (KJM) is: jugendschutz.net.
Before you sit back and relax and think: "That's all sorted out ...", you should know who is paying for all this.
"jugendschutz.net" is financed by the following institutions: 1. by state media authorities (GEZ compulsory fee)
The GEZ compulsory fee system has already squandered its trust too often, as Kla.TV, for example, in the program
"Der Medien-Riese wankt!" using dozens of concrete examples.
2. additional funding is provided by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.
The political leadership of the Ministry for Children, Youth, Family, Equality, Refugees
and Integration in NRW is both green and queer.
Alliance 90/The Greens in particular have tolerated or supported pedophile ideas for years.
"The Green Moral Party and the pedophilia scandal" are the subject of an entire program.
3. The supreme youth welfare authorities of the federal states also make a contribution.
Consider, however, that the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, for example, has been proven to promote
dangerous early indoctrination of children as part of the "Demokratie leben" program.
The "Queere Bildung e.V." association wants to use the funding - i.e. taxpayers' money - to promote
gender diversity at educational institutions nationwide.
More on this in the program: "Money from the state for transgender propaganda"
If parents now want to know how this (our) tax money is actually used to protect minors, it
becomes difficult, not to say sometimes very confusing.
There are cooperations between jugendschutz.net and numerous youth protection organizations such as the Association
of German Catholic Youth (BDKJ) in NRW or the Catholic State Working Group for Child and Youth Protection NRW e.V.
One of the working materials she recommends is the flyer "WISSEN TO GO!", which is funded by the Ministry for
Children, Youth, Family, Equality, Refugees and Integration of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.
If you follow the recommendations for youth leaders linked on this flyer, you will end up, for example, 1. on the website of a
queer-feminist, sex-positive, environmentally friendly and vegan sex store 2. or on the homepage of two sex educators who
advertise books or genital models for sexual education on their websites 3. or on so-called "experts" who explain how to make your
own sex toys, 4, or on other queer sites that give tips on how to hide the telltale mound in your crotch as a trans woman ...
[Dear viewers, at this point we will spare you and ourselves more pictures and details.
The sources are all documented and shown at the end of the program.
However, it should be clear to everyone by now that the term "protection of minors" is not a cushion of peace.
It can be hijacked and twisted into the exact opposite.
Finally, a very important aspect: The Commission for the Protection of Minors in the Media generally only becomes
involved after the content has been broadcast or distributed.
The providers of youth-oriented services do not take their obligation to take swift remedial
action in the event of reported violations seriously.
All of the sometimes disastrous effects on the minors, their families and their social environment had
already taken place before the violations were recorded.
The harmful content remains in people's minds and in practice, even if it is eventually deleted from the network.
Children and young people are therefore fully exposed to the countless dangers on the
Internet, despite the control exercised by providers.
The annual reports on the protection of minors show that the deletion rates are often inadequate
and that deletions are usually considerably delayed.
Above all, however, new influencing, manipulation and violations are taking place every day
with the publication of further disturbing content.
It seems as if the family is not being protected here in the name of youth protection, but rather destroyed...
Form your own opinion about the mentioned protection and control authorities.
But please don't sit back - because unless we raise our hands and say STOP, this agenda will continue to grow ...
