QUESTION OF THE WEEK

“How do we speak assertively to Trust & Safety professionals or at least, start that conversation?”

To whom would we be talking to, exactly?

People exactly like Kate Starbird, and their lesser copycat acolytes.

Negative press can influence public budgets for Censorship Industrial Complex NGO’s. If you don’t want your tax debt going here, please, by all means, complain.

Tell us what you need to tell the government censor laundromats and we will workshop a civil way to communicate it together. Speech is free. You have the talking stick. Say what you need to say.
