Dr. Alison McClymont is a trafficking expert and clinical psychologist who has spent years working on the frontlines of child sexual exploitation - in Southeast Asia, Afghanistan, and the UK.

In this episode she reveals how child abuse has been industrialised by the internet: live-streamed in real time, paid for by the click and happening not on the dark web but on the apps your children use every day.

She also connects the dots between grooming gangs, bacha bazi, and the data nobody in government is asking for.

3 things I learned:

  1. Live-streamed child abuse has increased 850% since Covid - and it happens on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Skype, not the dark web.

  2. Big Tech can detect copyright music in seconds. They could detect live-streamed child abuse the same way. They choose not to - because it doesn’t make them any money.

  3. There are statistically almost certainly boy victims of the UK grooming gangs. Nobody has asked for the data.
