"Luckily, the majority of the justices expressed no aggressive interest in completely gutting Section 230 because of the potential large-scale economic implications on tech and the internet." https://www.ynot.com/scotus-oral-arguments-section-230-case/

To all our new followers over the past few weeks: welcome. If you're looking to get involved in efforts to prevent abuse while defending human rights, you can find information about different ways to support us here: https://prostasia.org/support-us/

From #FOSTA/SESTA and the #OnlineSafetyBill (UK) to #EARNIT and #KOSA, it's becoming increasingly common for governments to use children as pawns to push anti-porn, anti-sex worker, and anti-free speech legislation, none of which protect children.

Protecting children means protecting marginalized children from bigotry and oppression. That's why the Prostasia Foundation has always stood behind trans and other queer people in their fight for acceptance and legal protections, and why we always will.

It shouldn't be controversial to say that protecting children is more important than protecting dolls or cartoons.

“Every morning when I first log into my phone, even if it takes a moment to load Instagram, I have an adrenaline rush,” DeVille told NBC News. “Imagine that stress, imagine waking up every morning and wondering if you’ve lost your career.” https://www.xbiz.com/news/271702/nbc-news-probes-instagrams-sex-censorship-sex-worker-discrimination

2023's second sex toy prohibition law was just introduced, this time in Kentucky. Let's remind sponsor @sdietz2 that such laws aren't evidence-based or supported by experts, and could hamper prevention research. https://openstates.org/ky/bills/2023RS/HB182/

Adults who have had experiences of sexual abuse as children need and deserve a chance to speak about their experiences with those who understand and can help. If you or someone you love needs support to recover, now is the time to reach out for help.

Louisiana's new age-verification law is blatantly unconstitutional, but that hasn't stopped 4 other states from introducing copycat bills, and others from introducing unconstitutional bills of their own.

A short guide to the most aggressive censorship we've seen in decades:

Let’s be clear. What is being reported in this story is NOT sex work. Not even close. Sex work by definition occurs between two consenting adults. This is sexual exploitation of a child. Conflating the two only hurts consenting workers and survivors. Journalists, do better.

Our latest paper exploring the treatment targets identified by people who are sexually attracted to children is now out (and open-access) in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy.

Our mission is to prevent abuse before a child is harmed. This means providing opportunities for people to find help so those who are concerned about engaging in online/offline sexual offending involving a child can live a non-offending life. #ChildSexualAbusePrevention

The angry people showing up with guns screaming "THIS IS DANGEROUS" are the ones making it dangerous

"The group’s core values are simply peer support so that people with a horribly stigmatized identity have a safe space to share good times and bad times – and an environment that doesn’t allow illegal behavior." https://buff.ly/3kVoAW9
