“@NCOSE delivered a briefing to agencies at the White House in November 2025, with recommendations on how to combat #sextortion. Now, our recommendations are being implemented.” @brandonguffeysc @Marcel_HT https://t.co/YUVIBgBZis

PS - this case just shows how when America fails to require our Big Tech to prioritize safety … exploitation becomes an EXPORT, impacting people around the globe who use the US-based platforms.

We can & must fix this. #America250

🫠 so basically Meta is admitting they could launch all these default child safety settings…but they’re holding them back as ….political bargaining chips…. to evade accountability…for causing harm…which they can logically foresee may arise from current settings…??

[Haley McNamara @HaleyMcNamara]

Please sign this letter to the FCC, urging them to better protect kids from the harms of screens in #schools.

The FCC must begin a robust public examination of risks and prevention measures for harms like porn exposure, predators, & more.

Sex trafficking doesn’t exist without demand. The bipartisan Sex Trafficking Demand Reduction Act recognizes a simple truth: holding sex buyers accountable is essential to preventing exploitation and disrupting the market that traffickers profit from. Congress should pass this legislation. Read our full statement below. 👇

A must-read op-ed from @Marcel_HT about the national security threat of pornography and sextortion.

This is a paradigm shift.

OPINION: “National security is not limited to military readiness or border protection. It also depends on strong families, mentally healthy citizens and a social fabric that can endure ambiguity and stress,” @Marcel_HT argues.

“The same groups I investigated halfway around the world have now perfected their trade online and are targeting U.S. citizens,” @Marcel_HT warns.

[Dani Pinter @DaniBPinter]

Must read on pornography as a national security threat! In @WashTimes from our President @Marcel_HT:

“the depersonalization of sexual relationships that pornography fosters and our advanced age of information and communications technology have converged to make sexual extortion instant, scalable and global.” Link below 🧵
