Ep 118: How to Protect Yourself from Image-Based Abuse with Katelyn Bowden

Today, I’m joined by Katelyn Bowden to talk about image-based abuse for our children. 

Image-based abuse is anything from sextortion, leaked nudes, revenge porn, faked nudes, deepfakes, and more. We have to talk about online safety and relationship abuse for teens as well.

A lot of kids don’t realize that the metadata of photos can exist longer than the “24-hour” window. There are so many ways to disable the screenshot notification and save images on Snapchat. It’s one of the most unsecure ways of sharing nudes.

We talk about ways to protect yourself and your children.

For more info on your personal identification information, listen to our episode with my friend Jason Faulhefer.

We dig into a good response if someone were trying to sextort you. Most of the time they don’t actually have any information, nor is it very marketable.

Use a password manager like OnePassword or LastPass.

We also dive into agency and education around consent. 

Katelyn is the CEO and founder of the BADASS army- a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting NCP and other forms of image-based abuse.
