Parents Beware

The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) has announced the formation of The Safeguard Allliance, a task force that connects those who are working to prevent young people from exposure to pornography and addressing the porn-saturated environment they are growing up in.

For example, during the month of June, National Internet Safety Month, the Alliance has provided an update on the following internet sources:

1. Netflix. Adding filtering tools isn’t enough--Netflix is currently producing and hosting sexually graphic and degrading content. All the while, the app is rated for children ages 4+ to block pornographic content.
    
2. Google. Google should take responsibility to default student devices with filtering tools, equipped to block pornographic content.
    
3. TikTok. The review of reported abusive and exploitative accounts needs to be handled more thoroughly.
    
4. Twitter. Still largely out of control, Twitter hosts as many as 10 million accounts that may include explicit sexual content. The most concerning part is how Twitter itself seems to ignore their policies against pornographic content, all the while facilitating harm to their users.
