Doorbell cams, phones, smart devices: built for the intended user, but often misused. London backs tech-abuse victims with £6m; UCL researchers want compulsory safety-by-design. Paying for the aftermath isn’t changing the build.

NYU-led study: 86% of chatbot answers on tech-abuse fell short on accuracy, completeness or safety; 60% omitted key warnings. Correct advice can still endanger survivors, such as a password change that tips off an abuser. Specialist bots did no better. US-focused tests. #AI #TechAbuse

Had an amazing time meeting wonderful folks looking to prevent #techabuse today. So many thoughtful, interesting and varied perspectives in the room. It made me feel like we might just pull this one off!

Off to Canberra to participate in a workshop on prevention of #techabuse. It's going to be a great workshop, but it speaks volumes about funding in the sector that I am funding my own travel. On the day after we learn of another woman's death, Australia, we need to do better

Are any of my mutuals going to #EuroCrim this year? Esp scholars focusing on #gender and #techabuse.

If so, any interest in being part of an AMC for my book? DM me!

“a recent case: a client who came in early in pregnancy disclosing severe domestic abuse – physical violence including strangulation and strict monitoring of her daily movements. She was pregnant, and “frantic” to access an abortion before an app would alert her partner.”

@bigissue.com: 'Around a third of women who contacted the National Domestic Abuse Helpline last year reported that their abuser was using technology to extend or intensify the abuse' - including tracking someone accessing care at an abortion clinic.

Feb is ending, but the talk on #TDVAM continues. 🧡

30% of teens in relationships faced tech abuse last year. Digital tools should connect, not control. Monitoring a partner without enthusiastic consent isn’t safe - it’s abuse.

What is an intimate image when we talk about image-based abuse? The current definition focuses almost exclusively on nude images, but it means different things in different cultures. @thesvri.bsky.social currently bringing this perspective at the #techabuse conference in London.
