The Safer Internet Centre in Luxembourg launched the campaign “CORNHUB ≠ REALITY” to raise awareness about how online pornography distorts reality and promotes unrealistic ideas about sex, bodies, and relationships.

Pornographic content is widespread on the internet and just a few clicks away. Young people often come across it at an early age, which can shape how they view sexuality, gender roles, and relationships.

"Click, Share, Humiliate, Destroy" is a book on online sexual violence against girls and women.

The book confronts online sexual violence from every angle. It was sparked by the "banga lists" (or "slut-shaming lists") incident in the Netherlands - lists that rated female students on their sexual performance and appearance, often with their personal information provided. 

The goal of the lesson is for the student to understand what artificial intelligence is, know what comes with using artificial intelligence, and understand that while artificial intelligence can help with learning, it should not do the student's homework for them.
