Big Tech’s day of reckoning is here! Meta has agreed to a historic $17.1 billion settlement over allegations that it intentionally designed its platforms to addict and harm children. And this isn’t just about the money, the settlement requires major changes to make Meta’s platforms safer for kids. From stronger age assurance to limits on addictive features, screen time, and parental oversight, these changes could have a real impact on children’s online safety. Read our breakdown of this major victory and what it means for the future of Big Tech, link below. 👇

If a relationship feels controlling or coercive, these may be warning signs of exploitation or human trafficking. If you ever need someone to talk to, we're here to listen:

Meta knew. They were warned. And they chose not to act. In the latest episode of our podcast, Haley McNamara and Dani Pinter break down why there should be no sympathy for a company that was repeatedly warned about the harm its platforms were causing children, yet continued making choices that put profits first. When the consequences are this devastating, “we didn’t know” isn’t an excuse. Listen to the latest episode of the Ending Sexploitation Podcast below and hear why Big Tech needs to be held accountable.👇

Meta just agreed to pay up to $16.7 BILLION over allegations that it harmed children. And the settlement doesn’t stop at a payout. Meta will be required to implement new safeguards, including limits on teen usage, nighttime restrictions, and stronger protections for young users. This is what accountability looks like. Children’s safety cannot be an afterthought.

P*rnhub is now still facing class actions in Canada, a lawsuit in Ireland, and over a dozen individual lawsuits in the U.S. on behalf of child abuse and trafficking victims.

Shut it down.

The US cannot take Canada for granted.

Pornography isn’t harmless. It can distort expectations about sex, bodies, and relationships. It can normalize harmful sexual behavior, reinforce objectification, and fuel exploitation. And when young people are exposed, it can shape their understanding of sex before they have the maturity or context to process what they’re seeing.

A survivor doesn't owe you the details. They don't owe you the perfect reaction, forgiveness, silence, or an explanation. What they deserve is to be believed, supported, and respected. If someone trusts you with their story, listen without judgment. Let them decide what happens next. And remind them: what happened was not their fault. Supporting survivors starts with believing them. 💙

For months, our team endured rape and death threats, doxxing, hacking, defamation and violent pornographic deepfakes using our likenesses.

Tomorrow, the scale and impact of this abuse will be put on the record, with calls for reform and accountability.

The traditional gavage practice of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania is a custom that forcibly fattens girls aged 5-15 for marriage.

They are force-fed milk and high-calorie foods several times a day. If they refuse, they are subjected to torture and having their toes crushed.

Human trafficking often starts with someone the victim knows and trusts. That’s why human trafficking can happen to anyone.

Today in a scathing open letter, Senator Lankford, rebuked P*rnhub for "preying on children."

Lankford condemned P*rnhub's July 28 message to state lawmakers opposing age-verification requirements, saying the company "has no interest in protecting children.”

"It exposes them to horrific sexual content and does nothing to ensure that children are not sexually abused in the content it hosts…P*rnhub’s letter fails to say the quiet part out loud: P*rnhub would lose customers if children were prohibited from viewing its content,” Lankford wrote.

P*rnhub and its executives must be held accountable to the full extent of the law for destroying the lives of countless children both in front of the screen and behind it.

As a teenager, Michelle Denault was groomed and sexually abused by one of her high school teachers.

She recalls: "My teacher had a motorcycle, and I LOVED him. I really thought, ‘This is love.’ He didn’t have to use fear to get to me; my biggest fear was losing the relationship—losing his love. It’s emotional blackmail.”

Today, Denault helps parents, students, and communities understand how grooming works—and how to protect kids.

As part of the next Australian child sexual abuse Action Plan, we are calling for a national grooming prevention program - to disrupt the ways that offenders manipulate children’s attachment systems and neutralise protective adults https://t.co/VZv1eYjkrL

Deepfakes are sexual abuse, too. Technology should not become another tool for sexual exploitation.

The connections in this one interview. Virginia Giuffre reveals Epstein trafficked her to Andrew. She’s hit by a bus then “commits suicide.”

The interviewer’s mother gets kidnapped and is still being held for ransom.

Release the Epstein files.

When Jang was arrested, two mutilated sex dolls were found at his home. Their necks had been slashed and their breasts cut off.

It would appear that Jang practiced his crime on dolls prior to escalating to violence against living women.
