SW's and SX positive creators are facing unprecedented levels of online censorship. From FOSTA/SESTA to Project 2025 and new age verification laws, the internet is rapidly shifting in ways that threaten both safety and livelihood.

This Town Hall will bring together community members, organizers, and digital rights experts to break down:

How we got here: The policies and laws that laid the foundation for today’s censorship.
What’s happening now: A fact-based look at the current state of the internet—platform by platform. Participants will also be invited to share restrictions they’ve encountered in real time.
What now? Strategies for navigating these laws: Should we obey or push the envelope? How can we resist while staying safe? What communities, resources, platforms, and payment processors are SX positive and SW friendly?
Action steps: Can we make a collective push toward safer platforms? What commitments can we agree to make together in order to support and inform our audiences?
Q&A: An open space for participants to ask questions and share experiences.

Our goal is to unite, inform, and empower SW's and SX positive creators by providing practical tools, trusted resources, and a path forward in the face of escalating censorship.
