After his arrest, investigators found the 12-year-old had been gorging on videos of decapitation and torture, including 1,739 jihadi videos and bomb-making tutorials.
The boy’s descent began with Quran searches and led to encrypted chats and ultraviolent propaganda from extremist groups like Islamic State. French prosecutor Paul-Edouard Lallois warned he risked becoming a “completely dehumanized soldier.”
Across Europe, minors are increasingly appearing on terror radars, with France’s anti-terror unit charging 19 minors in 2023 alone.
Extremist content is just a click away, with radicalization sometimes beginning through violent pornography or a fascination for gory images, leading to jihadi decapitations.

Believe it or not once again “organized” religion is the problem.
Yeah, American Christian’s NEVER end up focusing on hyper violence through their religion. /s
Stop acting like the problem is religion-specific instead of empirically inherent to religion.
No rational person believes that.
You’re either being willfully ignorant or you’re an idiot.
Stop defending terrorism.
lol how is pointing out that Christianity also creates violence defending terrorists? You’re fucking deranged man. Stop trying to promote christofascism through sheer force of stupidity.
Insults aren’t going to make people blind to reality dude, no matter how warm and fuzzy they make you feel inside.
Look at the votes here dude. Literally nobody agrees with you. Just shut up and take the L.
It’s always funny to me when people who believe in magic try to condescend to me about reality. You’re a hilarious person.
Do you realize how blatantly obvious it is to identify someone who has put exactly zero effort into understanding religions? Just because you surround yourself with virtual yes-men doesn’t make your perceptions correct.
Keep that up and you might end up making a fool of yourself, like all those seniors who went out to protest Tesla dealerships, not realizing that today’s youth don’t actually like them or their ideals very much, having to grow up in the fallout of their progressive utopia.
Pfft. You have no idea what you’re talking about. All religions are personal beliefs that can be co-opted by powerfull forces and changed into abhorrent cults that end up murdering people.
Christianity is at the forefront of that. Forced/enforced adherence to ‘shared commonality’ doesn’t make for a free people. It only helps birth more cogs for the machine. And you pointing specifically at Islam simply shows your inherent racism and simple lack of knowledge and wisdom.
Rational and religious lol. Go ahead and tell me what the majority religion was in Germany in the 1940s. I’ll wait while you Google it.
en.wikipedia.org/…/Nazi_persecution_of_the_Cathol…
“Hitler was born to a practicing Catholic mother, Klara Hitler, and was baptized in the Roman Catholic Church”- Germany was like 90 percent Christian lol.
They were anti catholic. Because they were protestants. Like… do you think these are good points for what you’re trying to argue? Because they are proving the opposite point you’re trying to argue, you fucking donkey.
Right, that’s exactly what fundamentalist christians are known for. Not at all for sending conversion missions abroad, child abuse and witholding basic human rights from people who refuse to convert.
Outside of your echo chamber, that is actually what they are known for. You’re going to be in for a rude awakening soon if you insist upon continuing to refuse to engage with the actual, real, world.
Maybe try reading the news sometimes
Try reality.
Exactly. Good luck with your attemps.
No, they aren’t, literally only Christian’s think that, and only about themselves and their specific sects of Christianity. I know, I grew up super Christian, I’ve met them. I’ve been there. And when I gave up the faith and ventured outside the Christian echo chamber I was shocked at the actual reality of how people saw us. How I see them now.
cut to Alex Jones, imperial march playing in the background, quoting Star Wars villains in a rant about what he imagines doing to anybody he disagrees with
Thats just bullshit, christians invented crusades and conquered half the planet in order to convert heathens and see what zionists are doing in gaza right now.
You do understand that your ‘clever’ ignorance isn’t actually going to be ignored by the world, right?
Stop aiding terrorism.
Stop promoting Christo-fascism.
Criticizing Christianity isn’t aiding terrorism you sausage hahaha
Headline says porn but the only thing on that is:
So I think it’s stupid click bait.
A bit sensationalist, yes. I didn’t read it, but I hope it made some link between the hormone drops associated with shocking imagery and sounds and the cognitive high one receives in response to the ensuing neurosynaptic flood.
They’re basically addicts with the drugs being manufactured and distributed in-house; all they need is the evermore violent and shocking A/V catalyst to inject the proverbial needle.
This is what you get when parents absent-mindedly assume handing their kid a smartphone when they’re noisy is all it takes to raise them.
100%, parents need to be involved in their kids life now more than ever, not treat them like a roommate. Kids need to be guided not given a phone/tablet to keep busy. But society doesn’t support this kind of parenting.
This has been going on for a long time
The mini-series “Adolescence” was spot on about this issue.
At one point the father says to his wife he thought their son was safe being in his room on the internet … when in reality he was accessing all the dark web abuse he could find.
Glad you’re staying current, AP.
Hey did they ever find the WMD??
Sorry? What? I’m not following any of this.
Reading this is like reading anti-drug propaganda from the 90’s. Like, sure there are concerns about young people, especially boys, getting radicalized online. But the coverage is so lurid and skewed that it loses credibility.
Two days ago an article about this was posted by The Guardian. It’s so bad in Britain that a counter-terrorism group will start gathering data on boys and young men who are “consuming online material about killings or sexual abuse (of girls/women)”.
Misogynistic content driving UK boys to hunt vulnerable girls on suicide forums

Idk about porn but on watchpeopledie there is clearly too much teenager. And there is sadly a lot of content posted by extremist / terrorist organisation like isis or daesh. They are doing it on purpose and are probably ready to discuss with edgy teenager.
I think kids and teens shouldnt be on internet. Like at all.
