After just a week, our new ads aimed at people who encountered CSAM by accident and want to report it have been seen by over 200 people, with nearly 2 dozen clicking for more information on how to file a report.

Trying to force child protection researchers to use language that conforms to your preconceived notions doesn't just impede their work. It also allows misinformation based on those preconceived notions to become more widespread, making it harder for researchers to share their findings and placing them at risk of harassment and violence when they do.

Some good news today. A new @ProstasiaInc project to help people report illegal content when they encounter it is seeing high levels of engagement after just a week of running ads

Today is End Child Sex Abuse Day. We would like to take a moment to thank our supporters for supporting our mission to stop sex abuse before it happens, while upholding human rights for all. #prevention #EndChildSexAbuseDay

In April 2018, Prostasia was founded as the first sex-positive child protection organization. Though we've grown since then, our core mission of keeping kids safe has never changed. Step back in time and read the blog post that started it all. https://t.co/hgDgmwWLmT
I need to stop writing blog posts more than a month before they're due (or bully our editor into moving up the dates). Now I have the urge to share my entire draft anytime someone mentions something even remotely related to the topic but I can't for another month 😢

Hi. We should probably post an #introduction. We're Prostasia Foundation, a new kind of child protection organization. I think I'll let our About page (found at http://prostasia.org/about) #introduce us:
Protecting children from sexual abuse is a cause that everyone can unite behind. Often, however, the measures we take to combat child sexual abuse (CSA) are less effective than they should be, because they are driven by emotion rather than evidence. In striving to protect children from abuse, we may end up harming them and others.
Prostasia Foundation addresses this problem by…
- helping to fund sound scientific research on CSA prevention.
- engaging with diverse stakeholders whose voices are not normally heard.
- addressing the human rights impacts of child protection laws and policies.
- communicating the results of our research and engagement to policymakers, platforms, and the public.
This uniquely balanced, rights-respecting and evidence-based approach to CSA prevention allows us not only to protect children from abuse, but also to reduce the separate harms caused to children and others by our society’s predominantly reactive child protection agenda.
We accept donations. You can find more info about that here: https://prostasia.org/donate/
And, as of 2022 we are all-volunteer run. You can find more information about joining our all-volunteer staff here (LGBTQ+ people and sex workers are welcome and strongly encouraged to apply!): https://forum.prostasia.org/t/prostasia-foundation-role-documentation/2350
If you work with/for an organization that runs Google Ads for any lgbtq-related keywords, check what search terms your ads are showing up for. Discovered today that Google was showing our ads in the results for some pretty nasty ones.
