an expedition. looking to design for the secret language of whales that's the exciting part of underwater listening is here in your window into their their life that new members of the few never see. the fleet see a company a research team to the pacific to the. language of whales storage to force on t.w. . images that only take a 2nd to send with just an m o g you can be angry happy or scared countless messages every day including content that is in germany illegal. nazi images racist slogans.

pornography. parents often have no idea what their children are looking at on their phones and dignity it's no big deal what harm can a picture do this but also to some it may seem harmless until the police start investigating. or consider what 11 year olds are looking at the stuff of a wave of refugees has reached your phone and allow them to stay but be smart and send them on their way hey it's funny now but one before long. i had last. week come to a school in the town of hotton in lower saxony there are 800 students here in grades 510 they take courses in math physics and the germ. in language they also

learn how to use digital devices. the school's principal. also wants to find out what the kids are looking at on their phones. morning that's why i'm out at work all right. i'm. working with your i pod excellent my thoughts. today we'll meet some 9th graders to talk about illegal images and videos that have been passed around here doc i'm on time but i feel sorry to interrupt you this you know that we have a problem with people sending images that are pornographic and offensive mention optimistic we've also seen nazi images we have eyes the 1st you seen the sort of material. you wanted to say something new you can just add if you don't have to shoot my sisters in the 7th grade here and she says that the situation with whatsapp is really bad as it has its limits. but what do you mean can you

explain yeah well. who knocked him images of naked people you know graffiti right for 7th graders i think that's really inappropriate. but the problem is not limited to pornography. some kids are passing around violent videos. and i know politics i've heard that there are cries if a video is that show graphic violence sometimes involving animals who seen these dogs would and there was one where some guys would beating up a dog who was shocked and i only watched the 1st top of it then i turned it off because it was just disgusting i just was just so it was fun to on. this is what i'm talking about you know. i mean. many of the students are

familiar with this video. i think i would give to the group. it's been watched a total of nearly $9000000.00 times some of the kids were sent a link to it and. i know. that you know we asked them how they felt about it. but 'd i almost cried like i have 2 cats and i just hate to see animals being abused. the principal allowed us to film at her school because she wants to call attention to the problem of potentially harmful content on students' cellphones. and it's a topic that's not widely discussed right now. the. problem for why do people send these pictures the law is to maybe to get clicks and i like on instagram that's because. i don't see why anyone would be dumb enough to send something like that is what you know. these sorts of stickers are especially

popular among students you can even design them yourself. but some of these images contain material that's illegal in germany. one student allowed us to look at the content on his phone he says he has nothing to hide one image caught us by surprise. and then assume he hits her sticker. ok i don't know where that came from out of touch with hitler or 6000000 killed it's me on and kill it's. the it's who i like cleaner that's a picture of a black child who's been placed on his i let us a cool although i don't look at that stuff i mean. and here's a message that's pretty rude so there's that. the student says he sometimes gets

200 messages a day. kicks off i get so many of these strong and i don't like it because i don't know what's on my phone was and i try to delete as much as i can future version. that's true these images bother you. as a huge job i'm from my they did it 1st but then you get used to it and that's pretty bad to the 1990 s. he received his 1st disturbing sticker when he was 12 years old. this is an exhibit of the lives of young people during the nazi era and today some german students are exchanging nazi images how can we explain this. zelda miller often asks herself that same question schools are simply not prepared to deal with the fact that students are sharing images of animal cruelty violence

porn and adolf hitler. he defines it as part. of feeling a lot of people feel helpless and when they ask me what should be done i often don't have and since people benefit us all but we need to help those students cope with this situation. we've now come to a hostile work to meet with an attorney who warns students about the dangers of digital communication she holds online seminars to explain what is acceptable on the internet and what isn't. schools from all over germany have asked gays ashbrook month for her advice 10 schools are taking part in today's seminar. so does the quantity list or not honest we have schools from several states today including north rhine-westphalia honest all german states but not it once you know exactly why it's celebrated if we had all the states taking part of the same time.

but usually it's just 4 or 5 from. the back. and this is a national problem yes i have schools yes no exceptions. and. some young people might post an objectionable image because they think it's funny but it may also be illegal. yeah and she would walk in your good morning from rostock. we have 10 classes with us and then today i'm going to talk about illegal internet content that you may find on your phone or abused or you no doubt familiar with these images. hitler but of hitler was responsible for the deaths of millions of people the caption says i like you i'll guess you lost honestly just don't share these images rice is a few if you many people are offended by such things but they don't speak up and our demise is agony i guess that you need to say clearly that you don't like lines

of us the scenes of us that among us and if you feel uncomfortable just leave the chat group that holds the good desire to stick up you do and then there are means like the also of the government hardened cards. that pictures of swastikas and hitler salute you for this but i am the same goes for images of nazi party batch as a staff bar even if it's just a cartoon character giving a nazi salute since i can't understand why people share this material it's not cool it's not funny it's illegal to exist. as a strict author. but only those who are 14 years of age or older are subject to prosecution for posting illegal content. still young. well to understand clearly what sorts of material are unacceptable. as we have to explain the legal aspect to that if. the law says that we can steal or run a red light young people know that. but this technology was created by adults for

adults and we have to make sure that the students are aware of the risks and. has kept a file of all the images that she's accumulated over the years. some of this material is disgusting but not all of it is illegal. kitten you would also call them and it says kick the jew out of the group in the after you see this sort of thing more and more often so people get used to me today and standards of social inhibition affording ideas and that's a dangerous trend right down to just like. the pattern is always the same this content is presented as a joke in order to lighten its tone without changing it. another image about the extermination of the jews. cooking with adolf step one turn on the gas.

i guess is this material is racist and miss such innocent it promotes hatred and it's anti-semitic shit craters share the stuff business and so do the older kids. they have no concerns at all about posting this will take a head on the us. there's another disturbing development at the heart in school and image involving child pornography is being passed around. one student gets the image and sends it to another. before long hundreds of young people have seen. the image is appalling we're not going to show it to you. the photograph shows an adult male penetrating a young girl. it just makes your head spin

as nothing is taboo anymore this is. absolutely nothing at all. we talked to some of the students who saw the image on their phone in her school class the picture with the young girl appeared here 1st why did nobody put a stop to it. most kids just didn't care. maybe there was shocked when they 1st saw it. you think about it for a minute at the time they were just and then forget about it it's. that's one fish that's remarkable you say students didn't. it didn't mean anything to them so it wasn't exactly breaking new you know just targets. it didn't mean anything this time it wasn't breaking news that's horrifying please explain it to me also change the threats actually i'll try you think to yourself that's disgusting but you don't

spend all day thinking about it a good day for the image was shocking to people to think about it for 5 minutes and send it to your friends and say to them from a shoot on the world look this is disgusting we're not she doesn't feel talk about it for a while and then it's over because this is i'm trying to guess and as a man to some people see so much stuff that they get used to it. you know the internet separates you a bit from it all right but if you saw this in real life and wanting to be upset this would have been a trick and said no and it's pretty similar if i saw 2 people fighting here right now remember i would have a real impact on me because it would actually be happening right in front of me and i tell my parents and yet if i see an image of something well it's just a picture and. some people have gotten used to seeing disturbing images it's just a picture. and even those who are shocked by these images don't speak up. i insist in not one of our

803 students came to me and said this is wrong in others i found that difficult as well on a personal level especially if my students have a problem like if someone has insulted them or if they've been bullied on the web they always come to me and i help them yes i often say but here we have a picture that obviously portrays criminal activity and no one came to me to report it. when school officials found out about the image they responded immediately several students were ordered to the press. sibyl's office and suspended for 10 days the school also notified the police. we've got an idea is how did you all feel about that and the handcuffs of bad things started we kept thinking about what happened and how stupid it was just that when it finally sunk in the kids were really bummed out. no one in our class

laughed anymore because it was a pretty dark mood people were really sad and they were upset too. i live on. the sets it was only then that the students understood what actually happened so maybe indeed something sticking force that's missed in picking my joan see it so much in their daily behavior i thought they get along well with each other i talk to 5 year but i also see that they're living in 2 separate worlds. when they use the internet they behave differently 5 as in the digital world seems to have its own code of conduct and this really worries me that's how these 2 lives on mixing together in the real world so i made it from wish to. most crimes involving child pornography are investigated by a special unit of the frankfurt prosecutor's office this unit works closely with the federal police the b.k. . in 2019 the b.k.

registered almost 4900 cases of children or young people accused of distributing acquiring possessing or producing child pornography. and 2018 the number of such cases was just 1700. we are on our way to me via a prosecutor who works with the cyber crime investigation unit. she's concerned that child pornography is turning up more often on the cell phones of young people the sentinel mune of us here sides in this phenomenon has been increasing in this age group for the last 2 or 3 years we want to. go home we are worried about this trained and we're trying to figure out what's behind it so. in october 29000 the b.k. and the prosecutor's office launched a crackdown on the distribution of child pornography on cell phones.

and if i got involved. in a field scene or sexual sponsored. many of the suspects had shared images on social media. also as it is to use equal pay we're not dealing with pedophiles here they had no idea how serious this is. most of the investigations were later called off but some of the younger suspects had to take part in an internet education program. the prosecutors main goal is to track down those who actually produce pornographic images and post them on the web. where does this stuff come from doesn't it where does it will begin that's a good question and it's difficult to answer because the material spread within specific myth. and it's bacco and the images are sent to all kinds of different contactless i look on talk as one of us some of these contacts appear on digital.

so we have to find a specifically out and then follow for. often the investigation simply leads back to a student's cell phone. as much as it had you want to tell lights on to the head we know that many young people are just being careless but we take this problem very serious with some top for adults the distribution of child pornography is a crime that's punishable by a minimum of 3 months in prison and this is what this law was created for an important purpose the penalties are severe because this crime is associated with the sexual abuse of children and 6 and most powerful. often the same images appear in a number of different places as for example here in the towns of fadden and also holds in the state of lower saxony all it takes to spread this material is one click on a phone or computer. the local police are investigating one case in particular

it came to light after a mother discovered child pornography on her child's phone. she reported this to the authorities. the local crime prevention team soon learned that the. image had been shared many times. the beautiful for what we found it in several launch what's up groups young people often set up these groups and the huge with a 100 or more people taking part time. when and when someone posts material there it can spread quickly. during the investigation police sent a letter to the parents of 2500 children and young people warning against the distribution of illegal content by students in whatsapp groups. the authorities stressed the dangers of sharing material that is pornographic

promotes extremism or depicts violence. here and any parents have no idea what their children are doing on the web and a nervous about how to do the right thing we sent this letter to provide parents with some ideas on how they can keep their kids from getting into trouble. a lot of parents don't explain to their children how to use a cell phone responsibly. the fragility doesn't work out i'm a father myself so i have to make sure that my children learn all the traffic regulations before us in the mountain narrowed get rid of them before she will she which is the same with cell phones i'd like parents to talk to their kids about how to use a phone properly and warn them about potential risks. the police have adopted a preventative strategy to inform children about the dangers of using the internet

. he was talking about 10 and 11 year olds and criminal activity so we stress education of a punishment. police are still investigating 2 local whatsapp users linked to this case. but what is whatsapp itself doing to prevent the spread of objectionable content. the company told us that the sharing of constitutional content and child pornography is unacceptable and that every month the company blocks about $250000.00 accounts and encourages users to report offensive material and once. we return again to the school and happening today the principal will meet with parents to discuss violent videos and illegal images.

until camilla and her colleagues will show their parents some materials that were taken from students phones. about $100.00 parents are expected to attend. and there are $800.00 students at the school so the principal was hoping for a bigger turnout. one of the videos will have a huge impact on the audience. to get my number one we want to raise awareness about what's out there we can't ignore this kind of content any longer and it's not enough to just put your phone down and stop fooling around with social media this material is everywhere. then he doesn't know if you can stand to watch animal cruelty close your eyes. the principal plays a video that shows a man throwing a dog into a pot of boiling water. shocking

for the parents certainly but almost all of the 9th graders have seen this one already you did not see had kids i was seeing this surely this affects them on yes and no i mean it's i mean this research this one shows up saying greetings to the whatsapp group. on the methodology i thought look at when they were shed 22012144. the only one i don't really don't think are some would say material like that that maybe you should keep an eye on him because you never know. when it's eye opening. they should just made scary that people nowadays would do things like that but that's how it is so steep that on the medium is just as if you can't stop it stop cause so you have to deal with it the best you can that's my extremes this hard to disaster

ladies and gentlemen it's very important for me to tell you tonight that there is no such thing as the school or the parents or the parents of this or that child again i don't try to we have to make a decision and will start small yards of it or not we have 100 people here tonight and we're not going to change the world but we can do something about this try to find out what your children are doing that's the 1st step the time to act is right now as inside. the parents had no idea that just a few weeks later things would begin to get even harder by march 2020 germany found itself in the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic people started spending much more time online. right now no one has time to keep track of the content that students are sharing on whatsapp and no one is talking about guidelines for using

social media responsibly for missions no vision definitely the shells are for me we shouldn't be worrying about technology computer skills and us official intelligence . we need to focus on developing digital is not trivial side a concert against me i've been saying for years that we have to apply ethical principles. to social media communication that is this is our responsibility as education is this is a serious problem right now and we have to deal with it and something. has made this point clear to her students and they're getting the message. i don't think anyone knew that sharing this stuff was illegal. and when some of the kids got caught people started paying more attention to what they were putting on the internet. and. i don't think anyone in our class will ever share

a sticker like that again. but all of us understand now that it's against the law. it's stupid and you shouldn't do it. this is a step in the right direction students are now talking to each other about what's right and wrong in the digital world in fact they know the rules better than many adults do.
