Honoured to share our new paper in @nature.com today. Across 12 countries in eastern and southern Africa and Southeast Asia, 1 in 6 internet-using children had experienced technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse. A thread 🧵

Despite a growing focus on the impact of AI on elections, we know surprisingly little about how voters use AI to engage with politics. A new survey shows AI use for political information is widespread and may already be shaping UK elections.
