Sexualization of minors. Markl warns about online exploitation

Nuno Markl doesn't let current issues slip away, as he did in his most recent post about the video published on YouTube by Brazilian influencer Felca, entitled 'Adultization'.

In this content, Felca exposes and talks about cases of exploitation of minors who create content on the internet.

Over the course of 51 minutes, the influencer demonstrated how social media algorithms promote this type of content, even mentioning specific cases such as Hytalo Santos (an influencer who is being investigated for exploiting children and adolescents).

Felca also highlights the families of these young people who exploit them in order to earn 'easy' money.

Nuno Markl's opinion

Nuno Markl didn't let this complaint go unnoticed and decided to take a look at what's happening with the algorithm on social media and how—intentionally or not—content creators may be fueling crimes against minors.

"Until a few days ago, I had no idea who Brazilian YouTuber Fecla was. Today I can tell you that his video 'Adultização' is one of the most important YouTube videos of the moment.

We live in a strange era that creates villains based on prejudice—immigrants, transgender people, etc.—to divert attention from serious problems. It's such a strange era that, faced with the idea that Trump is in the Epstein files, I've seen several of his loyalists (like singer Azaelia Banks) try to explain that Epstein's underage girls weren't so underage either.

Such a strange time that a convicted child trafficker, Ghislaine Maxwell, is being called a 'victim' on Fox News and receiving VIP treatment in exchange for her silence. All of this in the open, in an era that has lost the decency to value the truth.

As blatant as the lie may be, truly accepting it has become a personal choice. There are times when it seems that, in the wake of all this, people are trying to normalize pedophilia. Consider, in the United States, the states that are lowering the legal age of marriage and how convenient this is to this narrative.

Felca's video doesn't address any of this; it focuses on what's happening on social media in Brazil. But by denouncing the exploitation of minors' bodies on social media—and cases like that of influencer Hytalo Santos—it addresses issues that transcend borders and should prompt reflection among parents worldwide.

The truth is that situations like the Epstein file cleanup operation, influencers who exploit teenage girls, adultifying them, parents who exploit their daughters on channels where they subject them to what their audience—adult men—want to see, and even the innocent way so many parents post images of their children on social media, all fueled by the algorithms of networks like this, are turning the world into a lucrative buffet for pedophiles. It's no longer on the deep web or the dark web. It's here.

Felca's video is 50 minutes long, exemplarily structured, well-founded, and has generated debate and research. Watch it for your children. I wish this would generate the scandal that other topics do," the radio host concluded.
