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. This paper synthesizes existing scholarship on the intersecting forces of race, age, and digital media that facilitate exploitation, examines how unauthorized distribution of exploitative content exacerbates harms, and proposes evidence‑based interventions for scholars, policymakers, and technology platforms. By foregrounding the lived experiences of Black teens and situating them within broader structural inequities, the study aims to inform more equitable protective frameworks. at Yale highlights how Black teen girls experience
