@babygalaxygrowing as for how I know it's for money, unfortunately that's mostly direct encounters. I've interviewed people who sold nudes as a kid, I have at least one friend who did it until recently (despite my urging them to stop), and I was approached by one kid on Twitter who tried to sell me images to fund their substance abuse issues.

The issue extends beyond images - kids who sell sex are also often doing it out of financial need. This photography project contains (obviously legal) images of kids who sell sex in Thailand and each has a description that includes information about why they do it. The associated short documentary was my first exposure to this issue and what got me interested in raising awareness about it.

@babygalaxygrowing this demonstrates that it's a majority of what's reported to organizations tasked with analyzing and alerting law enforcement of it, and a lot of what they analyze is new content

I'll keep looking to see if I can find anything that more accurately reflects new content rather than new reports

"Existing law already requires online service providers who have actual knowledge of 'apparent' CSAM on their platforms to report that content to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), which is essentially a government entity." eff.org/deeplinks/2023/07/ndaa

The majority of new CSAM being posted on the internet is self-produced. In some cases, this is because kids have been groomed into sharing content with an abuser. However, more often than not, it's a kid selling content to help their family make ends meet. If you want to stop the spread of CSAM, make sure every family has enough to afford basic needs.

URGENT: WashPo is reporting that there is still an effort to quietly include the dangerous #STOPCSAM Act (this is basically just the #EarnItAct Act under a different name) in the must-pass #NDAA.

@ProstasiaInc truly unbelievable what people who claim to support survivors will do when one doesn't fit their mold

Conspiracy theories like QAnon are popular because they promise a simple solution to a complex problem. But they're based on misinformation and often end up making kids less safe. Learn more in our 2020 exposé:

I know it's summer and we all just want to chill but it's time to start paying attention to the slate of bad Internet bills (think: KOSA, EARN IT Act, Cooper Davis, RESTRICT Act etc).

There's a quiet push forming in the Senate. We need to get really loud right now to stop these.

As we've long predicted, the misapplication of obscenity laws hasn't stopped with the most taboo content. Some states are now going after companies that support the LGBTQ community - and using these dangerous laws as justification.
