[Image Description: In the center of the graphic, there is a photograph of a person with brown hair ina bun in a blue suit jacket and blue skirt. They are holding a sledge hammer and hitting a wall with the Porn Hub Logo. At the top of the graphic is a white background with black text that reads, "The war on porn and sex work may be dressed up as child protection, but it is nothing of the sort. And ultimately, it is based on a lie: it is possible to separate pornography from child sexual abuse, and it’s important that we do so. Lumping them together results in over-censorship of sexual expression, including educational content and prevention resources. It feeds harassment cults in fan communities. It harms sex workers, exploits survivors, and ultimately fails and harms children." ~Jeremy Malcolm.” At the bottom of the graphic is a white background with black text that reads "The War On Porn Does Not Help Children."
