“Discovering photos of us naked is commonplace.” The assertion may surprise or, on the contrary, seem trivial – depending on age, very often. It is extracted from “sextory” (contraction of “sex” and “extortion”), one of the three episodes of the series on the digital traps posted on France.TV in December. And this first salvo of videos should affect a large audience, far beyond the targeted generation.

The series was indeed designed for “digital natives”, born after 1984, after a study on The local government association , spokesperson for local British communities, said that 18-34 year olds are more likely to be victims of Online scam only the fifties. The designers therefore adopted their codes: short videos and presentation by youtubers or influencers.

Jüne PLA remains smiling to warn against the “friends” who claim “nudes” (naked photos) or against the “Fisha” accounts, which broadcast intimate images of young people without their consent. Above all, she wants to guilty the victims, repeats that “anyone can be trapped”, and explains what to do if it happens – the emergency number is 3018.

Since 2018, this Alsatian denounces “grazers” (net scams) in videos with sometimes flowery language. Nothing unmoved, here. He relies on the testimonies of scams to emphasize that “as money does not come out of their pocket, no one thought of file complaint”, before going up the training sectors.

At the same time, Sandoz returns to the creation of the CPF in 2018 and its unexpected success, then addresses practical advice. While we would like more details, Laurent Durain, director of the vocational training of the Caisse des Dépôts, imposes his conciseness: “A proposal which is too beautiful … is too beautiful.”
