"If you are conversing regularly with your child about their online experiences and your use of parental control tools, then they will be empowered to make safer choices online." https://prostasia.org/?na=v&nk=18015-05ed1362cf&id=130

We encourage Twitter/X to maintain their years-long "zero tolerance" policy for images and videos of child sexual abuse. Allowing individuals who have posted such content to continue using the service as normal puts more survivors at risk of harm. https://mashable.com/article/x-twitter-ces-suspension-right-wing-account-reinstated

"Stigma doesn’t happen overnight. Nobody wakes up one day and says, 'I think I’m going to have terrible opinions towards this minority or that minority, just because.'" prostasia.org/blog/fighting-stigma/

"While we cannot stop the perpetual march of technological development, we can control how it affects our lives and our children's lives. We do have control over how much or how little information we voluntarily share online and with whom, so let’s use it!" https://prostasia.org/?na=v&nk=18015-05ed1362cf&id=130

"Second, use those parental control features! That is why they are there! But it also helps to let your kid know that you are using these tools, so they don’t feel like their privacy is invaded." https://prostasia.org/?na=v&nk=18015-05ed1362cf&id=130

Banning encryption, restricting free speech, these are all things politicians declare "will protect children" but the reality is that these things will harm everyone, including children (especially the LGBTQ+ children)

"Existing law already requires online service providers who have actual knowledge of 'apparent' CSAM on their platforms to report that content to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), which is essentially a government entity." https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/07/ndaa-no-place-sweeping-internet-legislation-stop-csam-act

"What can we - as parents - do to support our children's online experiences, while at the same time ensuring they are doing it in a safe and secure environment?" https://prostasia.org/?na=v&nk=18015-05ed1362cf&id=130

"the focus of this newsletter is to highlight the work that Prostasia Foundation is doing to support parents and provide resources for parents to help keep their children safe online." https://prostasia.org/?na=v&nk=18015-05ed1362cf&id=130

"Stigma in the form of inequality can turn otherwise resourceful people into limited, narrow-minded individuals who either cannot find support or, worse, cannot afford support." https://prostasia.org/blog/impact-of-inequality/

"When we put other human beings into this environment where they struggle in a vulnerable position, we’re creating a situation where they can be exploited and harmed and may then exploit and harm others." https://prostasia.org/blog/impact-of-inequality/

"Nazi Germany didn’t start off with the mass murdering of Jews; it started with hateful propaganda blaming the Jews for social ills (and the bad ending to World War 1)." https://prostasia.org/blog/impact-of-inequality/

"When people aren’t equal at a social or economic level, they don’t have the same opportunities or the same protections. That makes them vulnerable to mistreatment, misinformation, and that ugly word: Stigma, hostility, and malice." https://prostasia.org/blog/impact-of-inequality/

"Inequality isn’t just an observable statistical phenomenon; it’s also a belief system. It comes from the idea that one group of people is better than another and that you deserve better things than someone else." https://prostasia.org/blog/impact-of-inequality/
