The term ‘self-generated’ imagery refers to images and videos created using handheld devices or webcams and then shared online. Children are often groomed or extorted into capturing images or videos of themselves and sharing them by someone who is not physically present in the room with them, for example, on live streams or child porn in chat rooms.
