Misinformation about abuse makes prevention harder. That's why we have systems in place to ensure all the information we share is in line with the latest research. As part of this, we maintain a list of research on prevention and related topics. https://buff.ly/3sd0Bj9

Preventing abuse is nuanced and complex, and everyone has opportunity for learning and discussion. We have a forum where you can discuss prevention and child protection so you can learn more - or come up with brilliant new ideas: https://buff.ly/2K127Dk

Encountering child sexual abuse material online can be scary and overwhelming, but reporting it protects survivors. Our Get Help page contains a guide that walks you through the steps to report illegal content and seek support for yourself.

RED ALERT: hearing @SenSchumer is falsely claiming he has hear “no opposition” to #KOSA despite LGBTQ+ and digital rights advocates repeatedly explaining how this bill is a disaster with a lot of the same problems as the EARN IT act and similar bills. https://act.eff.org/action/tell-the-senate-the-solution-to-kids-privacy-isn-t-more-surveillance

Another child has been bullied into attempting to take their own life over accusations about "pedophilic" artwork. No other child protection group recognizes this crisis because they support and profit from such moral panic.

BREAKING: The Senate has passed the Respect for Marriage Act, a historic move forward in the rights of LGBTQ families.

The bill ensures federal recognition of marriage regardless of the sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin of either spouse.

"The poorly drafted 'Kids Online Safety Act' would make kids less safe, and would be weaponized to attack LGBTQ+ people and abortion rights." https://buff.ly/3VA6i9S

"Online spaces have seen a rise in anti-sex and anti-kink rhetoric. They believe that sexual or kink content leads to a rise in “degeneracy” and people who consume that content are predators." https://buff.ly/3fYOkOY

"I was never taught what warning signs I should be worried about. I had no idea what grooming was or how it worked. I knew I wanted romance and sex, but I didn’t understand how those feelings could be exploited and make me into a target." https://buff.ly/3fYOkOY

As the year comes to a close, we would like to remind you that all donations until the rest of the year are doubled! #GivingTuesday https://buff.ly/3kn7w6F
