An update of resources from the Screenagers Movies series.

Elliston Berry was 14 when a classmate used an AI nudify app to turn one of her Instagram photos into a fake n**e that spread through her school.

Deepfake images like this, created using easily available apps, are reaching kids far faster than most parents realise.

Elliston and her mom tell their story in our new film, Screenagers: Generation AI, out September 8.

Today's blog covers what happened to her, and what parents need to know about deepfakes and the apps that make them.
