Porn is not associated with sexism.

qoto.org/@olives/1104622745318 Meta analysis of 59 studies didn't find that porn is linked to sex crimes.

There are even studies showing less crime with higher levels of porn use, even among criminals.

In regards to "sexualization in video games", some studies have chosen cut offs which are very difficult to distinguish from noise.

This drastically increases the number of false positives. Even here, they have often found results which appear to contradict their hypothesis.

The meta analysis fails to find a link between this and sexism or mental well being.

The next large step for the Cwtch project to take is a move from public Beta to Stable. We have been working hard towards that goal over the last year.

Today, as we approach the release of Cwtch Stable we would like to provide another update on the ongoing work, and the remaining blockers to certifying a Cwtch Stable release.

We also have a new nightly to test, and improved Whonix instructions!

He has a strong "I want to be taken seriously" vibe to him.

But, then, he starts making a bunch of factually untrue (or at best, misleading) incendiary statements.

Silliest take was a think of the children guy screaming about Signal being "Big Tech" (it's a non-profit) and how they don't care about the children because they only care about profit. It was an anti-E2EE take.

I'm sure that data brokers, some of whom are known for selling information on the location of victims to their own abusers, who aid the government in violating the Constitution, and who non-consensually amass data will be thrilled at the prospect of rebranding their business models.

It's interesting when a guy who is linked to a large data broker suddenly has a problem with forms of privacy, including E2EE, and markets himself as saving the children.

"Wired notes that the problematic "spy clause" actually remains in the legislation. The government is just promising not to enforce it right now. In reality, all the powers will remain intact."

Have you considered that the government is saying anything to get the bill passed?

It looks like there are also other ideas, such as functionality for blocking users, and keeping other users a certain distance away.
