Black adolescents in the United States experience disproportionately high rates of exploitation—both offline and online—compared with their peers of other racial/ethnic groups. The proliferation of illicit digital content (commonly referred to as “siterips”) has amplified the visibility and spread of exploitative material, further endangering vulnerable youths.

By foregrounding the lived experiences of Black teens and situating them within broader structural inequities, the study aims to inform more equitable protective frameworks. and digital media that facilitate exploitation
