"Cyber-flashing is a form of online sexual harassment where someone sends an image of their genitals without permission to a device, such as a phone or tablet. It is sometimes called sending ‘nudes’ or ‘dick pics’. It includes pictures or videos sent online and through Bluetooth or file-sharing apps like Airdrop. Read this factsheet for parents and carers to get more information on how to keep your child safe from cyber-flashing, and what to do if it happens to them. Under the Online Safety Act 2023, cyber-flashing is illegal."
