Everyone is responsible for their actions. However, if we as a society can provide people with the support they need to avoid potentially harmful or abusive actions, we have an ethical obligation to do so.

Censorship and Surveillance are not the answer to the problems concerning online safety. They will create more problems. Which is why Australian #OnlineSafetyAct must be repealed, before innocent Australians like me are affected.

Pilot study by @MooreCenter_JHU found that middle schoolers who participated in new school-based prevention program demonstrated increased accuracy in knowledge about child sexual abuse norms and laws and sexual consent. https://bit.ly/3U3fHGy

"This backs up the growing consensus among experts that improving access to support for MAPs could lead to lower rates of child sexual abuse." https://buff.ly/3HMwBGf

"Notably, the more recent study also found that some MAPs who offended had attempted to seek therapy beforehand but encountered barriers that prevented them from receiving support." https://buff.ly/3HMwBGf

“Don’t Say Gay” is a hodgepodge of vague and bad lawmaking that will be used as a vehicle — or excuse — to deny gay and, especially, trans children the right to exist in peace.

The rate at which the furry community criticizes kink is staggering. You're going to create a space that no adults will want to actively participate in.

Stop trying to make pornography "safe for kids" to consume. It's not for kids. It's for consenting adults.

Sexual feelings often manifest during puberty. Without comprehensive sex ed, this can leave teenagers unsure of how to express or explore these feelings in a healthy or safe manner, leaving them vulnerable to predatory adults who pretend to offer that support.

"As pedophilia is a very taboo subject, and professionals who hear testimonials are liable to respond negatively, people who are sexually attracted to minors definitely have difficulty confiding their feelings and finding help, Garant believes." https://buff.ly/3FEuToJ

“Guardians of Divinity” is a group of far right conspiracy theorists in NYC who met via antivax protests.

Following Proud Boys invading a Drag Story Hour in CA, the group began focusing on DSH. Their rhetoric + behavior have become more violent in the past 4 months. 🧵 https://twitter.com/ebottcher/status/1605017815026638848

As far as I can tell, the #KOSA politicians are straight up lying about engaging with the groups asking to shelve the bill.

The new version is not better, it’s still extremely flawed, broadly targeting speech and using liability as a lever, which will backfire just like SESTA https://twitter.com/evan_greer/status/1603027222545186816

The reason the right-wing use the word "gr**mer" is because they actually can't get away with using "p*d*ph*le" or "ch*ld m*l*ster." Those are the words they WANT to use, but they know that those accusations would make them vulnerable to being proven wrong in a court of law.
