About the FSC - Free Speech Coalition

Welcome Letter

Welcome to the Free Speech Coalition, The Free Speech Coalition is the trade association for the adult entertainment industry.  Our members consist of a broad range of adult businesses from producers and webmasters to manufacturers, retailers and many, many more. As the trade association for the adult entertainment industry our responsibilities are threefold: One, to be the watchdog for the adult entertainment industry guarding against unconstitutional and oppressive government intervention; Two, to be a voice for the industry telling the truth about the adult entertainment industry not only in the vital role it plays as an economic contributor, but also in its contribution to quality of life in a healthy society; and finally to provide business resources for our members to facilitate successful businesses in this ever-changing and challenging business environment. If you are a visitor to our site, welcome and congratulations for taking the time to learn about the real adult entertainment industry, a legal, vital entertainment industry created for adults by adults. If you are a member of FSC, welcome and thank you for your continued support.  We are here for you and because of you.  Let me assure you that we will continue to support adult businesses and fight for freedom of speech respecting the inherent right of adults to be adults.

About the ASACP

MISSION

Founded in 1996, ASACP is a non-profit organization dedicated to online child protection. ASACP battles child pornography through its CP Reporting Hotline and helps parents prevent children from viewing age-restricted material online with the Restricted To Adults - RTA Website Label.

WHY ASACP?

Shutting down CP sites (and catching child pornographers) can only happen if suspected sites are reported and investigated. Government bodies around the world are inundated with reports and the resources to review them all simply do not exist.

ASACP offers a secure, anonymous reporting system for the general public to report questionable content who may feel uncomfortable contacting government agencies.

ASACP fosters communication and cooperation with the online adult industry. This means we have the outreach and access to involve adult sites and their customers in our fight.

ASACP has the knowledge and technical ability to review submitted reports and forward suspect sites to the authorities who consider our Red Flag Reports to be high priority.

WHAT WE DO & HOW WE DO IT

ASACP educates members, the online adult industry, government policy makers, and the public about child protection, illegal online activities, and the efforts of the online adult industry to battle child sexual abuse. To do this, ASACP:

• ASACP provides an online hotline for web surfers and webmasters to report suspected child pornography.
• Investigates reports and determine the ownership of suspected CP sites and forwards Red Flagreports to international government agencies and associations including the FBI and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, as well as International Hotlines.
• Notifies ISPs and payment processors when their hosting and billing services are hijacked by CP operators.
• Creates a Code of Ethics for our Membership program - a model of effective self-regulation for the online adult industry.
• Establishes Best Practices which are recommended for adult sites, search engines, billing and hosting companies, dating sites, adult sites and others.
• Created the RTA ("Restricted to Adults") label to better enable parental filtering, and to demonstrate the online adult industry's commitment to helping parents prevent children from viewing age-inappropriate content.
• Informs members on current, new and pending laws and regulations pertaining to child pornography and protection.

ABOUT THE SEX WORKERS PROJECT

What we do

The Sex Workers Project (SWP) provides legal services and legal training, and engages in documentation and policy advocacy, for sex workers. Using a harm reduction and human rights model, we protect the rights and safety of sex workers who by choice, circumstance, or coercion remain in the industry.

The SWP provides critical information to policymakers, activists, and the media on the human rights abuses faced by sex workers and those who are at risk for engaging in sex work. We use documentation-based advocacy, policy analysis, training and education, and collaboration with community-based service providers to advance practical, long-term solutions to the problems faced by this vulnerable and marginalized population. We document the lives of sex workers and put a human face on violations of their human rights.

The SWP works to ensure that the criminal justice system appropriately responds to the needs of sex workers; that victims of trafficking in persons have access to legal and other benefits; and that community-based service providers who work with sex workers have the expertise to assist them. The SWP works in the following areas: criminal justice reform; trafficking in persons; and human rights documentation.

Facebook Censors Female Sexual Desire?

by Suzanne Forbes, July 30th, 2010 at 2:34pm

On July 27th Violet Blue received an email from Facebook informing her that the 3,000+ member sex-positive women's empowerment community she founded on her "Our Porn, Ourselves" page had been deleted. I was a member of that community, which was meticulously maintained in accordance with Facebook's published Terms of Use by Violet, and I'm a woman who watches porn.

I'm appalled by what appears to be Facebook's targeted censorship. It's also very disturbing that the anti-porn zealots like "Porn Harms", who have been harassing both Violet personally and members of the community, have claimed the community's deletion as a victory for their side and are offering thanks to Facebook.

Dan Savage reports on the situation this week; you can read more here and here, watch a video, and get updates on Violet's Posterous blog. The OPO Pro-Porn Manifesto, which was included on the deleted Facebook page, is on the Our Porn, Ourselves site.

Here is Violet's letter to Facebook, republished with her permission:
