Woodhull Freedom Foundation (not EFF) will host this event. EFF's India McKinney will be speaking.
About the Event:
In 2024, the intersection of sexual freedom and censorship was a rapidly evolving battleground shaped by shifting political, cultural, and technological forces. Our program this month explores the complex challenges and emerging opportunities surrounding the censorship of sexual freedom in a world where digital platforms, government policies, and social movements increasingly influence what can be expressed, shared, and consumed. We’ll examine the legal and ethical implications of censorship in both public and private spaces, addressing topics such as the regulation of adult content, online surveillance, and the growing influence of AI in moderating expression. We will also consider the potential for activism and digital tools to resist or navigate these restrictions, highlighting grassroots efforts, international human rights perspectives, and the role of digital communities in promoting sexual autonomy. We will also look ahead to the challenges and opportunities we’re forecasting in 2025. We investigate the balance between regulation and freedom and explore how new forms of resistance and empowerment can emerge in response to increasing attempts to control sexual expression in the digital age.

About the Speaker:
As a former Capitol Hill staffer with over 10 years experience as a legislative staffer, India McKinney’s main job is to make sure that the laws of the land don't suck the life out of the internet. India’s passion has always been for good public policy, and she’s excited to be using skills developed during past legislative and appropriations battles to fight for encryption, for consumer privacy, and civil liberties in the digital realm.
About The Woodhull Freedom Foundation
Established in February 2003, The Woodhull Freedom Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization devoted to education and public advocacy in support of sexual freedom as a fundamental human right. Our work builds on the affirmations of individual rights contained in the United States Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, and in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Woodhull carefully cultivates and works to engage allies from all social, economic, religious and cultural justice communities interested in affirming sexual freedom. We strive to harness the energy of and join with the LGBTQ, Sex Work, Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, free speech, privacy, reproductive freedom, and related movements to bring existing energy to bear on sexual freedom as an additional opportunity for shared discourse and political, cultural and social change.
This event is organized not by EFF, but by Woodhull Freedom Foundation.
