Exploitation on digital platforms often becomes visible through changes that do not look legal at first. A child in a St. Louis classroom may start avoiding friends, an Illinois parent may notice late-night panic after messages, or a California clinician may hear about headaches, poor sleep, and secrecy tied to an app. These patterns matter because claims are moving beyond single bad actors and looking at how platform design, reporting delays, and moderation gaps can keep children exposed.

Engineering and operations teams have a measurement problem that most other functions don't. The technical metrics are excellent. Deployment frequency is up. MTTR is down. Uptime is at 99.97%.
