@FSCArmy's Capitol Hill Fly-In is your opportunity to meet with members of Congress or their key staff to communicate how financial discrimination affects your business and the adult industry.https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/dc/

"Reporting numbers to the CyberTipline program sponsored by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), however, indicate that adult content prohibitions have little to do with image-based sexual abuse prevention." https://www.ynot.com/does-banning-adult-social-media-prevent-csam/

Corporal punishment is child abuse. And it's legal in many parts of the world, including in many schools.

"The final prong is tertiary prevention, or the prevention of further harm once harm has already happened." https://prostasia.org/blog/primary-prevention-basics/

"Yet Congress is debating, for a third time, the EARN IT Act (S. 1207)—a bill that would threaten encryption, and instead seek to impose universal scanning of our messages, photos, and files." https://act.eff.org/action/the-earn-it-act-is-back-seeking-to-scan-us-all

"The second prong is secondary prevention, basically the application of everything in primary prevention, but targeted towards at-risk groups:" https://prostasia.org/blog/primary-prevention-basics/

Reactionaries profit off the myth that sexual abuse is a mysterious phenomenon that can only be addressed after it occurs. But the research is clear: abuse has known causes, and it can be prevented before a child is harmed. That's what the prevention community is fighting for.

Leaked European impact assessment slams proposed new online child abuse requirements, finding "current technology is not advanced enough to detect new CSAM and grooming without resulting in a high error rate." https://www.euractiv.com/section/law-enforcement/news/eu-parliament-study-slams-online-child-abuse-material-proposal/

"The first prong is primary prevention, ensuring people have the resources and support they need so that they make good decisions and not harmful decisions." https://prostasia.org/blog/primary-prevention-basics/

The American public has spoken several times, and the message is clear: no mass surveillance and other #privacy violations under the guise of "child protection". It's time for congress to stop reintroducing the #EARNITact and pass legislation that actually keeps kids safe.

We're fighting for a world where every child can live free from abuse. Your financial support will help us make it a reality.

"The idea of primary prevention is simply to avoid an undesirable outcome in the first place, whether it’s a disease or something else." https://prostasia.org/blog/primary-prevention-basics/

"The EARN IT Act is a trojan horse bill that uses the language of child protection as cover for an insidious agenda to undermine your rights." https://prostasia.org/campaign/stop-earnit/

"The bill would present a Pandora’s box that would strip away online privacy protections and force forms of otherwise legal speech to be chilled, possibly even censored, across the web." https://www.ynot.com/earn-it-act-reintoduced-again/

"The law would undermine digital security for all internet users, impacting private messaging and email app providers, social media platforms, cloud storage providers, and many other internet intermediaries and online services." https://act.eff.org/action/tell-congress-don-t-outlaw-encrypted-applications
