If we have learned anything from history, it is never good when the people in power start compiling lists of members of minority groups. https://buff.ly/3PsDq1x

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

"If a child is old enough to knowingly pose for a photo, they are aware of what is going on and should be given the opportunity to willingly participate (or not) in being photographed." https://buff.ly/30b2QLQ

Conservatives view anything LGBTQ as "sexual". This dangerous bill would criminalize LGBTQ people just for existing.

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

If you can afford to financially support human rights-focused organizations, now would be a good time to donate to Free Speech Coalition, @team, Woodhull Freedom Foundation, and @ProstasiaInc

Twitter's new head of trust and safety has invited QAnon-adjacent and publicity-hungry anti-trafficking group OUR (the subject of a criminal probe believed to be ongoing) to discuss a partnership. OUR tells me and @annamerlan it's "delighted" by the offer. https://www.vice.com/en/article/dy79bx/twitters-new-head-of-trust-and-safety-offers-to-partner-with-controversial-anti-trafficking-group

President Biden has officially signed the ‘Respect for Marriage Act’ into law, which grants federal protections to same-sex and interracial marriages. 🏳️‍🌈👩🏿‍🤝‍👩🏼

"In fact, any attempts made to moderate and eliminate illegal content could subject companies to fines because the safest route — given the bill’s mandates — is to do nothing." https://buff.ly/3OusqQB

Did you know that Prostasia is the only child protection organization that welcomes sex workers to be a part of child protection? Sex workers and LGBTQ+ are encouraged to apply for our volunteer staff: https://buff.ly/3p1PlYe

The senate right now is discussing whether to add #KOSA to their must pass spending bill. This bill will lead to mass-censorship online of anything the far-right does not like, because it lets state attorney generals sue any site for having "harmful content" towards minors.

RT @mikestabile
You can be concerned about CSAM and still be wary of bycatch censorship of legally protected speech, just as you can be concerned about terrorism and also be wary of Patriot Act surveillance state.

“The LGBTQ+ community is actively under attack, and it’s unthinkable that Democrats are considering advancing a bill that will further harm us and disproportionately target queer and trans young people.” https://buff.ly/3OKKKoL

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

Falsely accusing someone of pedophilia is a silencing tactic. If you do it, you don't really believe in freedom of speech. You believe in the privilege to bully.
Stop minimizing the seriousness of child abuse with your ironically juvenile nonsense.

Child monitoring applications can stifle child development. Parents should allow intellectual freedom instead of in-depth digital controls that put children in a petri dish under a microscope.
