They Want to Ban Abortion Info Online — 02 Mar 2026

In this episode of my Section 230 mini series, I break down how anti abortion groups are targeting the internet itself. From the 1873 Comstock Act to modern day efforts to repeal Section 230, there is a long history of using censorship laws to suppress reproductive health information. The fight for reproductive justice and bodily autonomy has always been deeply connected to free speech and open access to information online. I sat down with Sarah Philips from Fight for the Future to uncover the real, hidden agenda behind the push to repeal Section 230. While politicians constantly frame weakening Section 230 as a way to "hold Big Tech accountable," these efforts actually undermine our right to access vital information related to reproductive justice and abortion online. We dive deep into the history of speech law, and talk about where the fight stands today. Here is what we cover in this episode:

How early internet censorship efforts were disguised as protecting kids from indecent material.

The devastating impact of SESTA/FOSTA and how it led to mass content takedowns of sex education and LGBTQ+ resources.

How the narrative of "tech addiction" is being weaponized to pass restrictive internet laws.

How anti-abortion extremists are targeting Section 230 to take down abortion funds and restrict out-of-state travel for care.

Originally, I was going to talk about Collective Shout and NCOSE to help bring awareness about their corruption and their plans to destroy video games. But, the more I looked into them, the deeper I went into this rabbit hole to point I saw the devil in the eyes... in more ways than any human being should

So, instead I'm going to address the current state of affairs, and one way we can help protect pop culture and history. Why should we worried about protecting these things?

Well... let me tell you a story. Something that happened more than 6 decades ago:

An asian overlord, and his followers, set out to destroy what he called the "Four Olds"

Old ideas

Old culture

Old customs

Old habits

To accomplish their objectives, the overlord ordered the descruction of millenia worth of culture, the erasure of traditional heroes, the demolition of temples and traditional architecture, the burning of books, and the suppression of dissenting voices.

The goal was to reshape society according to the "ideas" and the "narrative" of this overlord. All in the name of "progress"

You may wonder, what does something that happened half a century ago have to do with the current worldwide censorship?

Some people point out that there is no coincidence that Australia, UK, and other nations rolled out draconian censorship laws around the same time frame. But, even those who can see that are still not seeing the full picture

We cannot see the new supreme ruler of Australian Internet Melinda Tankard Reist as a separate entity from the tech MP from the UK, Peter Kyle. And we cannot separte these two from Senators Mike Lee and Marsha Blackburn, given they're currently trying to do the same in the US.

You have to see this as one single entity, one unique wild beast

Let's go step by step. The first attack was Collective Shout weaponizing payment processors to delete games. To avoid drawing too much unwanted attention, they just targeted adult games with "questionable" tags, to more or less seem consistent with their so-called "anti-porn" brand

Obviously, tens of thousands of gamers, most of which didn't even care about adult content, rang the alarm through the Internet. A female gamer even started to dig everything about them, and needless to say, we found out those australian ladies are diabolical. And that's an understatement! They even went as far as to defend "Cuties" (a movie that exploited hundreds of real underage girls)

A few days later, the UK rolled out the Online Safety Act, and just like critics warned, the so-called anti-porn law was used to censor more than just adult content.

Artists and photographers couldn't see their own work due to UK's restrictions...

...and the only way they could was by giving up their ID and/or personal information. Same applied to Spotify, with the added caveat of them deleting your account if you fail to prove you're not a minor

And it's not just the UK, it's the EU itself. So, I want you to pay attention to these details, because they will be important. Right now, this entity is now restricting both art and music, even if they have nothing to do with pornography.

But, there's more. Under these new laws, even access to Wikipedia is restricted. Let that sink in... an enormous online encyclopedia with lengthy and detailed articles about historical events. Therefor, censorship is also restricting people's access to knowledge and history.

Are you starting to see the big picture? Culture, art, music, history, all under attack in name of "safety".

But, what truly gave this entity away was its activities in the US. You guys probably know about the censorship duet introduced in the Senate:

The Screen Act, and the Kids Online Protection Act or KOSA (They're not even trying to hide they're copying the UK draconian law). If they pass, they'll be used to crackdown on freedom of expression and pop culture.

Still, this is not the huge reveal. The cherry on the top is another US bill known as "Block BEARD". A new pirate site block bill. At first glance, fighting piracy seems noble, and many people would back it up. But, if we add this factor to what's currently going on around the world, fighting piracy doesn't seem to be the real goal here.

Here's an example. There are movies and series from the 80's and 90's many people would be willing to pay for just to see. But, they're not available in either physical or digital formats. So, what do many of these people do...

In situations like this, pirates become the guardians of media and pop culture, preventing a lot of entertainment from becoming lost media.

If censorship forces all platforms to remove lawful content, pirates become the only way to access this content. But, what happens when even this venue gets blocked?

Now, one may say censorship will only affect adult content devoid of any "artistic value". But, here is when I go back to the beginnig of this war against the current "four". What does Collective Shout and NCOSE truly want aside from getting rid of nudity in the cases of attractive adults? (their defense of "Cuties" show they don't mind as long as they're real little kids)

Well, Melinda Tankard Reist already gave away part of their endgame...

...no more videogames. One of the cores of pop culture, gone. And with the help of Block BEARD, they can supress all ways to recover the content, turning all the media they seek to censor into lost media.

If we factor what the EU is doing with art, music, and knowledge/history, it's obvious they're taking a page from that asian overlord's playbook. The destruction of the current "four":

Culture

Customs

Habits

Ideas

All in the name of "safety".

As a female gamer recently found out, this entity is making this law as broad as possible to cover nearly everything in media:

As of the writing of this article, NCOSE has been trying to gaslight people into thinking gamers want this censorship. Spoiler alert: they don't, and the people they got to speak in their behalf are not real gamers. That's why NCOSE is getting ratio'd in X as a result

Right now, gamers and weebs as well as developers and content creators are fighting this wild beast in any way they can. Wikipedia is engaging in some legal battles, and so are lawyers and other advocates for freedom of speech and freedom of expression.

What's the goal of this entity?

Well, the asian overlord mentioned at the beginning of this article holds the answer: the destruction of the four old was an attempt to reshape society by erradicating everything that came before, so the ideas and philosophy of the overlord could override the culture and norms of the people.

Or, in a way most pop culture fans could get: "As long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those that are unable to accept what can be"

The goal is to completely erase current culture and values from the collective consciousness, and replace them with the ones this entity sees fit.

So, where does that leave us?

Even if we win this war, there are things we must do to safekeep the culture this wild beast want to destroy. After all, as we saw when DEI/BRIDGE initiatives finally failed, this entity doesn't stop just because it failed a few times. It just keeps trying. If they fail here, they'll likely focus all of their efforts in eroding freedom of religion. But, that's a matter for another time

Right now, we're seeing the love child of North Korea and the Soviet Union on a near-global scale.

So, what we should do is the following:

Download as much media as possible: art, music, movies, series, books, documentaries, etc.

Make backups of everything. The more the better (Flash drives should be hidden in places or spaces nobody would look for)

If you happen to have rare physical media in the forms of books, employ or develop methods to hide them. It doesn't matter if it's a history book, a bible translation, or a manga volume. They all deserve to be preserved

Keep children as far as humanly possible from fan communities and online activity. This entity uses them as a weapon to destroy culture and knowledge, the less children interact with online content, the better

So, this is scary.

If you're unaware, NCOSE is a fundie org that used to be called Morality in Media that literally wants to wipe all porn from the internet and they're coming after Reddit.

Which is scary, because they've succeeded in very recent history. They were a major part of the push for FOSTA/SESTA that started the current wave of internet censorship, and they were very likely behind the crackdown on NSFW Steam games from a while ago.

So they've been successful, and they're trying to do it again, and we need to stop them somehow. I just... am not sure how.

fuck steam.

Back in 2012, "The Economist" published the results of a study on the importance of photographs for job applicants. Two researchers arrived to an interesting conclusion when conducting this study

They sent fake applications to over 2500 job openings, and what was the result? Attractive women were less likely to be called in for an interview if they attached a photo to their resume. Why?

Human Resources (HR) departments tend to be staffed mostly by women, and turns out that 93% of the people tasked with selecting whom to invite for an interview were female

After accounting for other variables, the researchers finally had to admit an ugly but undeniable truth: "old-fashioned jealousy led the women to discriminate against pretty candidates."

Morover, there's a relevant story more people should be reminded of. In the region of Judea, more specifically in Jerusalem, according to the Bible, something interesting happened nearly 2,000 years ago when a woman used expensive ointment for Jesus:

But Judas Iscariot, the disciple who would soon betray him, said, “That perfume was worth a year’s wages. It should have been sold and the money given to the poor.” Not that he cared for the poor—he was a thief, and since he was in charge of the disciples’ money, he often stole some for himself

John 12:4-6

Why do I bring these two seemingly unrelated subjects when talking about Collective Shout?

Because as Sun Tzu once said: "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles"

And to truly understand the psychosis inherent to the members of organizations like Collective Shout, Visa/Mastercard, NCOSE, Sweet Baby Inc. and others alike, we need to understand the motivations that fuel their madness

As previously exposed by the amazing woman/gamer we know as Madam Savvy as well as other anti-censorship individuals, Melinda Tankard Reist from Collective Shout, her underlings, and her NCOSE allies, all either defend and support movies like Cuties, which exploited hundreds of underage girls

But, they lose their minds when they see an attractive female character in anime/manga...

Yoruichi Shihōin from Bleach©

...or even videogames, which is the favorite target of Collective Shout

Yelan from Genshin Impact©

Whenever they see content like this, Melinda Tankard Reist and her like-minded followers are quick to throw accusations claiming that this kind of entertainment constitutes "pornography," "harm against women," and/or "child abuse"

So, here's the question: Why are characters like Yoruichi and Yelan so reprehensible while movies like Cuties get a pass?

The answers lies in those study results published in 2012:

Just like "old-fashioned jealousy led the women to discriminate against pretty candidates," that very same jealousy leads to women like Melinda from Collective Shout to discriminate against female beauty.

The children from Cuties get a pass, because they're not appealing to regular people, but attractive anime women get their vitriol because their beauty appeals to many individuals, both male and female

Of course, they're completely unable to say that out loud, since as one Hispanic reporter said: "They live to lie"

And here's where we get to how they managed to rally some ignorant people to their side, despite how ridiculous it sounds to be jealous of a fictional work of art.

When Judas saw a huge opportunity to steal a large amount of money from Jesus and his disciples, did he say out loud what was his true intent?

Nope, Judas lied to hide his selfish and outright malicious goal behind a noble cause.

What is the narrative that Collective Shout and their allies love to spout so often? Fighting sexplotation, violence against women, and child abuse... noble goals used as a front for their petty and malicious objectives.

Ironically, according to one biblical account, Judas went to Jesus's enemies to betray the Son of God, as soon as Jesus rejected Judas's attempt to shame the woman that brought the perfume for him.

And Collective Shout is not above throwing innocent under the bus for the sake of their own evil ambitions.

But, given how these organizations seem to systematically target and oppress gamers and weebs worldwide, one could ask: what can we do in the long term to resist these psychotic individuals and organizations?

The National Center on Sexual Exploitation, formerly known as Morality in Media and Operation Yorkville, presents itself as a charitable support organization for victims of sex crimes. However, their claims are far, far from the truth. In reality, they are a far-right queerphobic religious organization (whose ​CEO is associated with an already registered hate group by the SPLC) that aims to eliminate all LGBTQ+ and all sexual kinds of speech and expression online under the guise of "Protecting children from harm". This organization has been known to fabricate statements, including that they are a secularist group with no religious background. Unfortunately, that is absolutely untrue as​ NCOSE was founded by an interfaith group of three New York City clergymen in 1962, as "Operation Yorkville". In 1968 they rebranded as "Morality in Media", and some of their past endeavors include:

Claiming gay marriage was linked to mass murder

Suing famous comedian George Carlin for swearing on the radio

Claiming Monty Python movie "Life of Brain"  "direct, aggressive, deliberate violation of the rights of believing persons".

In 2015 Patrick A. Trueman a registered lobbyist with a known history of working with hate groups like the American Family Association rebranded Morality In Media as "National Center On Sexual Exploitation"

They have rebranded and hidden their faith-based roots and are pretending to be a legit organization that has "expertise in sex crimes". That is extremely far from the truth as anti-trafficking review states, in which NCOSE "uses misleading 'research reports' to fabricate a false medical consensus about the harms of pornography."

However, that has not stopped some people from believing in them, including large corporations like...

Meta

Google/youtube/alphabet

Valve/Steam

Tumblr

and many more...

People and politicians on both sides are falling for their statements. Many online queer spaces are being deleted or censored because it has become a trend in far-right circles to falsely label anything LGBTQ+ as "porn", "sexual", or "grooming" through misinformation. To give an example these people think that this picture right here is "porn"

That leads us,

We are an organization formed of members sick and tired of NCOSE willfully fulfilling their selfish purposes, censoring and erasing our online spaces, and disguising their true goals under the false pretense of "protecting children".

What we want is plain and simple: we are fighting fire with fire. As such, we are calling upon the Southern Poverty Law Center to register NCOSE as a hate group in order to enforce honesty about their past deeds. The purpose of our campaign and petition is to raise awareness and make NCOSE admit they are a religious organization and unveil their shady past. We hope to make companies such as Meta, Google, and Visa/Mastercard to end their relationships with NCOSE upon exposure of their hateful past.
