AI-based digital abuse is rising, leaving victim-survivors with limited accountability and few ways to find solutions. 📱

Even with advancements in laws, it can be difficult to navigate this abuse with how easily it can spread online. Victim-survivors deserve trauma-informed support, clear legal protections, and responsible actions from AI developers to prevent harm and uphold safety online. 🌐

Support services can help you create safety plans and navigate digital abuse. If you or someone you know needs help, reach out today: Care Line 702-895-0602. 🧡
