For #HumanTraffickingAwarenessMonthlets let’s build awareness for the harmful censorship NCOSE has advocated for under the guise of caring about imaginary cherubic white children. Formerly Morality in Media, they let up on nagging @Eminem and the FCC about rap lyrics and changed

Did you know? Prostasia is one of the few organizations taking an evidence-based approach to preventing the spread of CSAM. You can learn about our deterrence project, which has redirected over 200,000 away from abusive content, at the link below. https://buff.ly/3EwS8ks

It can’t be the basic truth of “abusers are enabled everywhere and unchecked power of any kind has dangerous consequences for the vulnerable”, it has to be “satanic pedophile ring” https://twitter.com/LayahHeilpern/status/1597243975811100673

Don't miss the latest episode of @JohnsHopkinsSPH's @PublicHealthPod in which @MooreCenter_JHU's Elizabeth Letourneau discusses promising child sexual abuse prevention research with @drjoshs : https://johnshopkinssph.libsyn.com/560-preventing-child-sexual-abuse

"Despite Musk’s claims that he’s prioritizing the elimination of CSAM on Twitter, layoffs and staff reductions have appeared to throttle the company’s Trust and Safety group, which houses employees overseeing child safety." https://buff.ly/3kbcyre

"Sex addiction" is not a term that inclusive and porn-literate sexuality professionals use, it's not in the DSM5, and your body can't overdose on the chemicals it makes to feel good. The term is often misused to describe people with "compulsive sexual behaviors"

"Accusations that the WEF promoted pedophilia in a statement are similarly inaccurate -- and they echo rhetoric from the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory, which centers on accusations of child exploitation." https://buff.ly/3QujN9L

A recent study finds that CP/CSEM victimisation as a child can lead to anxiety, suicidal thoughts and relationship problems in adult life, but that those who view such material don't often escalate to contact abuse. https://buff.ly/3EKKW2Q

Have we learned nothing from FL about the negative consequences a bill like this has on our youth?

Anyway, I hate having to focus on this at all, but “child safety” is weaponized so much in ways that are currently threatening everyone’s safety due to aggressive surveillance, biometrics, censorship, etc. These folks actual agenda has to be exposed, it’s getting out of hand.

"Fantasy has been widely acknowledged for its therapeutic benefits by mental health professionals for some time now. Naturally, it can initially be very painful to revisit these traumatic memories through fantasy." https://buff.ly/3GRBsoo

"“I had forgotten what it was like to be afraid for my life because of my sexuality, and that is exactly what these bigots want. They want to scare us back into the closet.”" https://buff.ly/3Qs8gYi

Survivors of abuse are not a monolith. Many have unique experiences, challenges, and coping mechanisms. That's why Prostasia believes that all survivors deserve support and an opportunity to heal in whatever way works best for them, while avoiding any further harm.

The “children are seeing porn online!” crisis manufacturing is all actually about accessing non-graphic LGBTQ material or education, which is why those campaigners don’t tell parents about simple “whitelist” tools that already solve the actual porn problem

One of the worst pieces of 2022 discourse (to plague my profession anyway) is that providing young people with education about bodies, consent, and sexuality is “gr@@ming.” It’s such a shitty accusation. It’s such a low blow. And the opposite is true.

Abusers are drawn to positions of power over the vulnerable, hence why you can commonly find them as clergy members, scout leaders, or, as in this case, cops https://buff.ly/3VfSWQj

"So whether you enjoy fantasy to help in overcoming trauma or as an outlet for your sexuality, do so with the peace of mind knowing what you’re enjoying is a harmless human instinct. And you aren’t alone." https://buff.ly/3GRBsoo

"In a fictional space we are free to explore and express even our most stigmatized feelings of attraction, romance, and arousal. All without the anxiety that we might be putting ourselves or anyone else in harm’s way." https://buff.ly/3GRBsoo

For #HumanTraffickingAwarenessDay let's build awareness for how abortion access is a trafficking issue. I was trafficked in states as a child that now have abortion bans without exceptions for children. I could have been forced into labor as a 9 yr old. I really hate this country
