VICTORY! Microsoft's GitHub Pledges to Combat Image-Based Sexual Abuse!
Microsoft’s GitHub is the world’s leading platform for artificial intelligence development.
Yet they have also been a breeding ground for software codes aiding the creation and rapid dissemination of
AI-generated image-based sexual abuse
(AI-generated IBSA, commonly called
"deepfake pornography"
).
That’s why we named GitHub to the
Dirty Dozen List
for two years in a row. You joined us in taking action, demanding the company stop fueling the
epidemic of IBSA.
And Microsoft's GitHub has finally listened to you!
Microsoft signed the
White House Private Sector Voluntary Commitments to Combat Image-Based Sexual Abuse
,
publicly committing to combatting AI-generated IBSA
.
They
updated GitHub's policies
,
prohibiting “projects that are designed for, encourage, promote, support, or suggest in any way” the creation of AI-generated IBSA.
As a result of this new policy, GitHub
removed several repositories
that hosted codes to generate IBSA, including DeepFaceLab, which hosted the code used to create
95% of deepfakes
and sent users directly to the most prolific website for AI-generated IBSA.
The importance of these victories cannot be overstated! Microsoft's GitHub is arguably the
#1 company
with the most power to stem the epidemic of AI-generated IBSA. And given Microsoft's incredible power and influence, we expect other companies will soon follow suit!
THANK YOU for your voice and action which made this incredible victory possible.

The Faces of Social Media Harm
The Internet and social media platforms are cesspools for child sexual exploitation.
Far too many
children
have died at the hands of those perpetrating sexual abuse, grooming, and sextortion over the Internet.
The
Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA)
could have saved those children. While it is unfortunately too late for them, it is not too late to prevent other children from meeting the same fate.
Scrolling 2 Death & Project Stand have created a flyer called
"The Faces of Social Media Harm."
It commemorates some of the children who have died from social media harms, and urgently calls for the passing of KOSA.
We thank Scrolling 2 Death and Project STAND for this valuable resource, and urge YOU to use it to spread the word!

New Research Calls Roblox a "Pedophile Hellscape"
A scathing
new report
from Hindenburg Research sheds light on the rampant sexual exploitation occurring on supposedly child-friendly gaming platform, Roblox. The report, which references NCOSE's
Dirty Dozen List Campaign
against Roblox, includes a lengthy list of positively shocking findings:
"As a test, we attempted to set up an account under the name
‘Jeffrey Epstein’
…only to see
the name was taken
, along with
900+ variations
.
Many were Jeffrey Epstein fan accounts, including 'JeffEpsteinSupporter' which had earned multiple badges for spending time in kid’s games. Other Jeff Epstein accounts had the usernames '@igruum_minors' [I groom minors], and '@RavpeTinyK1dsJE' [rape tiny kids]."
"Registered as a child, we were also able to access games like 'Escape to Epstein Island' and 'Diddy Party'. We found over
600 'Diddy' games
, including 'Survive Diddy' and 'Run From Diddy Simulator.'"
These among countless other outrageous findings led Hindenburg to conclude that Roblox is an
"X-rated pedophile hellscape."

ACTION: Tell Your Representatives to Pass the Kids Online Safety Act!
After two years of Roblox being on the Dirty Dozen List, we have little confidence that this corporation is willing to change.
We need legislation to force their hand!
Call on your Senators to pass the Kids Online Safety Act, which would require platforms like Roblox to prioritize the safety of children.

Hidden Wounds: The Mental Health Toll of Surviving Prostitution
“A few months before and after I got out of prostitution, I started having what I now know are panic attacks and I lost the ability to speak. I just couldn’t talk, no sound would come, I was shutting down.”
This is how one prostitution survivor
describes
the
extreme trauma
that followed her even after leaving the sex trade.
For many who have managed to escape the terrifying grips of prostitution, the battle for freedom, happiness, and peace, is only half won. Even when threats of gang-rape, degrading sexual acts, choking/strangulation, stalking, and beatings are no longer part of their daily lives, prostitution survivors now face a much more understated threat, one that often prevents them from finding complete liberation –
severe mental health disorders.
Mental health disorders loom beneath the surface, not an immediately apparent threat to survivors, yet an undeniable roadblock in their pursuit of healing.

Take Action!
