"as Prostasia Foundation prepares to introduce its new Executive Director for 2023, the time is right for us to return to the field of political advocacy – and we are looking to recruit a new Activist to our team to lead this work." https://buff.ly/3v8w0qE

"During 2022, the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ people have come under renewed challenge, not only in the United States, but also in Eastern Europe." https://buff.ly/3v8w0qE

"Indeed in 2019, Britain’s National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) chose to purge itself of its LGBTQ+ representatives rather than showing solidarity with them in the face of anti-LGBTQ+ smears against the organization." https://buff.ly/3v8w0qE

"The problem of closed social media spaces becoming breeding grounds for illegal or violative activity is not unique to TikTok; groups enabling child predation have also been found on Facebook, for example." https://buff.ly/3tAwBkf

"Thus although the accusation of “grooming” is a mask for generalized bigotry against sexual minorities, the moral panic that underlies it is indeed a reaction to the threat that modern sexual and gender norms pose to authoritarian patriarchal hegemony." https://buff.ly/3v8w0qE

Stigmatization of sex work means that those known to work in the sex trade," known prostitutes," are treated differently by the community & law enforcement, who often discriminate against them when they make claims/try to file reports.

Pilot study by @MooreCenter_JHU found that middle schoolers who participated in new school-based prevention program demonstrated increased accuracy in knowledge about child sexual abuse norms and laws and sexual consent. https://bit.ly/3U3fHGy

Sexual feelings often manifest during puberty. Without comprehensive sex ed, this can leave teenagers unsure of how to express or explore these feelings in a healthy or safe manner, leaving them vulnerable to predatory adults who pretend to offer that support.

December 17 is International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.

Take action now!

Tell Congress to Investigate the Impact of FOSTA/SESTA at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/take-action/safe-sex-workers-study-act/

Conservatives view anything LGBTQ+ as "sexual". This bill, if passed, will be used to essentially criminalize LGBTQ+ people's existence

Utah’s United States Senator Mike Lee’s 1 page attempt to redefine obscenity to end pornography as we know it. He wants to change the Miller Test to make it vastly easier to prosecute porn producers & distributors for obscenity violations… Interstate Obscenity Definition Act

The bill removes "patently offensive" and "community standards" from the current definition, meaning the Republicans have declared open season not only on porn, but nudes, sexts, sex ed and a whole lot of Hollywood. https://twitter.com/FSCArmy/status/1603434131710349312

NEW: Twitter has disbanded its "Trust and Safety Council."

Members included expert groups working to tackle harassment, child exploitation, and human rights.

"KOSA wouldn’t make kids safer online. Instead, it would subject kids and teens to more surveillance, make them more vulnerable to hackers and creeps, and cut them off from valuable online resources and communities." https://buff.ly/3Bfa8gH

🚨 Please pay attention! 🚨

Even today people pretend Tumblr was deplatformed and destroyed over abuse material.

We now have it on record of App Stores complaining literally about “#boobs”

It was NEVER about abuse, it’s conservative capitalism at scale. Evil. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1593760658289565699

As we attempted to call out anti-LGBTQ legislation, @facebook moderation decided to block our post, without reason or explanation or the opportunity for an appeal. This is just the latest in a wave of censorship directed at prevention and human rights activists.

You pay for the TIME of a sex worker. They still decide what they consent to and what they don’t. If you cross that person’s boundary it is still SEXUAL ASSAULT.

Did you know that falsely reporting drawings and illustrations as CSAM makes it harder for actual abusive content to be identified and removed? The problem is so pervasive that @IWFhotline had to publicly ask people to stop filing false reports.
