What's one way to minimize the likelihood of survivors agreeing to share their stories because they can't pay their bills if they don't? View their exhibitions: www.azadikenya.org/exhibition2022 & www.azadikenya.org/exhibition-2.... View my full report: modernslaverypec.org/resources/to....

“Bluesky could be the future of content moderation”.
I 100% disagree.
Yes, the protocol offers a plethora of ways to filter content and ensure you never come across, say, Nazis.
But that’s not what content moderation is.

So #bluesky is not decentralized but is an initative to do so. Initially funded by Twitter & it moderates posts in the same way. Jack Dorsey doesn’t want ability to block people & shrugs at the spread of misinformation. Our information to train AI.

So genuinely curious—why are we here?

Anti-violence advocates, whether or not you like Polaris, this bill harms survivors & sets a dangerous precedent that WILL be used to cop-ify other hotlines that are currently confidential. Add your name & join the opposition to H.R.2601. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
H.R.2601 is a dangerous bill that requires the National Human Trafficking Hotline to hand over confidential information to law enforcement upon request. But we already have a tipline! Protect survivors' access to confidential, victim-centered support. Add your name: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
