RT @MissLollipopMFC: Welp sextpanther is dead in the water.

Due to the service provider they use for SMS messaging deciding sexual messages are no longer allowed.

They are switching to website only. No more SMS which was a huge client converter.

The war on sex work continues. https://t.co/nbdvgTgR23

RT @MistressSnowPhD: people are QTing about how this means that twitter’s about to be drenched in porn

“anyone can experience violence and sexual abuse, but there are some populations that are inherently more vulnerable. This is not a weakness in who they are, but a result of systematic oppression, and inequality.” Keep reading in our newsletter: https://t.co/cHPklriEDe https://t.co/ZEKYz0q5Mo

"We can't address a problem as urgent and complicated as pedophilia and child sex abuse if we're not willing to think about it, but the intense stigma has been an obstacle for @andrewgold_ok in finding a publisher." https://t.co/qwY4tnfcyr @amandaknox @manunderbridge https://t.co/PNbOjeHz4y

RT @iproposethis: 'No Nut November' is a great opportunity to talk to your kids about sex.

If they're over 12 and on social media, they've heard of it.

Start the convo: "I heard it's 'No Nut November' and it got me thinking about..."

Your child will groan and roll their eyes, but...

RT @WoodhullFreedom: This week is #TransAwarenessWeek! It is a time to honor, celebrate, and uplift the trans community. With anti-trans rhetoric and legislation at all-time highs, now more than ever, we need to listen to the trans community about their experiences. https://t.co/JBAXmvUq6u

RT @MistressSnowPhD: all platforms are required by federal law to report instances of child sexual exploitation material to the national center for missing & exploited children

in 2021, twitter made 86,666 such reports

this is a *nightmare* https://t.co/eaOPBnZDwP

RT @VoteGloriaJ: 🚨The GOP supermajority came out with their 1st piece of legislation the day after election. The bill that was burning their fingers it was so important to TN families. Did they expand Medicaid? Address inflation? Solve the DCS crisis? No, they made #DragShows a felony. #NoHate

"They believe the trolls were not motivated by genuine concerns about survivors or potential survivors, or by concerns about safeguarding as has been claimed, because many simply phoned up, shouted “paedophile”, and made transphobic, homophobic and racist remarks." https://t.co/JrTVPdjg0G

RT @WoodhullFreedom: Interesting data about the sex lives of Americans , "79% of Americans have changed at least one behavior surrounding sex—from more proactively educating their children about sex to having less sex themselves—because of the overturning of Roe v. Wade."

In April 2018, Prostasia was founded as the first sex-positive child protection organization. Though we've grown since then, our core mission of keeping kids safe has never changed. Step back in time and read the blog post that started it all. https://t.co/hgDgmwWLmT

RT @McMisoprostol: ICYMI: I’ve been in Twitter Jail for sharing the official WHO protocol for medication abortion, which Twitter says is “promoting self-harm.” I’m a public health scientist with expertise in medication abortion—and the National Academies have a consensus report on its HIGH safety. https://t.co/Yn0pX1J3sL

RT @DecrimSex: IF IT DOESN’T FIGHT TRAFFICKING, WHAT DOES SESTA/FOSTA DO?
By endangering both sex workers and victims of human trafficking, SESTA/FOSTA has inadvertently encouraged the kind of abuse it sought to eradicate. https://t.co/Q1jg5u9qin

Your regular reminder not to use the word "pedophilia" when what you actually mean is "child sexual abuse".

Hi. We should probably post an #introduction. We're Prostasia Foundation, a new kind of child protection organization. I think I'll let our About page (found at http://prostasia.org/about) #introduce us:

Protecting children from sexual abuse is a cause that everyone can unite behind. Often, however, the measures we take to combat child sexual abuse (CSA) are less effective than they should be, because they are driven by emotion rather than evidence. In striving to protect children from abuse, we may end up harming them and others.
Prostasia Foundation addresses this problem by…

- helping to fund sound scientific research on CSA prevention.
- engaging with diverse stakeholders whose voices are not normally heard.
- addressing the human rights impacts of child protection laws and policies.
- communicating the results of our research and engagement to policymakers, platforms, and the public.

This uniquely balanced, rights-respecting and evidence-based approach to CSA prevention allows us not only to protect children from abuse, but also to reduce the separate harms caused to children and others by our society’s predominantly reactive child protection agenda.

We accept donations. You can find more info about that here: https://prostasia.org/donate/

And, as of 2022 we are all-volunteer run. You can find more information about joining our all-volunteer staff here (LGBTQ+ people and sex workers are welcome and strongly encouraged to apply!): https://forum.prostasia.org/t/prostasia-foundation-role-documentation/2350

RT @evan_greer: #KOSA is one of the most dangerous bills that could potentially move during the "lame duck" (we really need a better term for this) session after the election. It's a well-intentioned "protect the children" bill that would harm LGBTQ+ youth and subject kids to surveillance
