Rather than put an end to it, Elon has decided to make it subscriber based so that he can profit off of the creation of these deepfake abuse images. Our Founder, Tiana Sharifi, spoke to Global News about what the Canadian government is lacking in its actions to prevent harm against Canadian citizens.

Roblox - and many other gaming platforms - may look like just a game, but for many children it has become a dangerous entry point for exploitation.

Recent lawsuits, including the tragic case of 12-year-old Ethan Dallas, show how easily online interactions can br manipulated into real-world harm.

At the Center of Exploitation Education and The Sunflower Project, we believe that children should be free to play without fear of exploitation, and this requires awareness, accountability, and action.
