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:

RT @EFF
FOSTA is an unconstitutional law that broadly censors the internet, hinders harm-reduction efforts, and harms sex workers, advocates, and numerous others by chilling their ability to speak, organize, and access information online.

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.

🚨Mississippi is now fast-tracking an age-verification bill nearly identical to Louisiana’s — if passed it would go into effect this summer. The mere sight of a female nipple by a minor could land you in court. stonecountyenterprise.com/news

A man firebombed a Planned Parenthood clinic in Illinois because he was “reminded” of his ex-girlfriend’s abortion three years ago, and so he decided to commit an act of terrorism to stop other women from accessing reproductive healthcare services.

Puritans/ Anti's will be like:
"All the evidence suggests looking at freaky porn will make you an abuser! You're freaks!"

All the evidence:
"No, actually it reduces abuse rates."

Anti's:
"That research is invalid because I said so, and all the researchers are freaks too."

"the ACLU is currently tracking at least 124 bills proposed in predominantly Red states. Texas, Virginia, South Carolina, and Missouri currently have over 10 anti-LGBTQ proposals for these respective state legislatures on the legislative calendars." buff.ly/3XG08X9

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.

"Choosing to educate yourself about these topics can help you take first steps to understanding child protection and why our common reactions aren’t enough to keep children safe from pain and trauma. Are you willing to learn?" buff.ly/3kVoAW9

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

Preventing consenting adults from creating pornography doesn't keep kids safe. It does, however, place an unnecessary burden on moderators and law enforcement officers whose job it is to ensure actual CSAM doesn't spread online.

North Carolina law requires these drills, but there’s limited data proving the effectiveness of them. Evidence increasingly suggests that active shooter drills are harmful to mental health, resulting in depression, anxiety and worsening school performance. everytownresearch.org/report/t

Could we actually see FOSTA's downfall soon?!?

Signs are at least good that the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit might strike down the 2018 law that targets sex work ads & chilled a whole host of speech reason.com/2023/01/18/appeals-

Exclusive: a 17 y/o Native American girl died suddenly at a troubled teen boarding school

Ex-staff say she'd been sick for weeks, was pale & bloated, and wasn't taken to a hospital

Records I obtained showed she vomited 3 x's in the week before her death
