Prostasia bills itself as a 'child protection agency' with a strong emphasis on 'sex-positivity'.

Its head is Jeremy Malcolm, a lawyer who has spent years fighting internet censorship. He loves his hentai. Here he is defending Lolita from censorship. He is on a UN Advisory Group on Internet Governance Forum. His twitter handle is @qirtaiba

Pearl Regalado is on its 'team'. She has experience as a prostitute and a kinkster. Also a victim of child abuse, and I would guess still trying to reframe that trauma through kink and prostitution.

Prostasia had its launch at its affiliate, Center for Sex and Culture. The co-founder of Center for Sex and Culture is Dr Carol Queen (former prostitute), who was yesterday listed as being on the advisory panel for Prostasia (Prostasia seem to have changed their website over the last couple of days) There are some disturbing images on Sex and Culture website. Some look underage. Carol Queen is also employed by a sex toy manufacturer and is a self-proclaimed witch/wiccan.

Advisory Council includes Dr Craig Harper of Nottingham Trent University, Guy Hamilton-Smith, James Cantor, Gilian Tenbergen, Ian O'Brien, Maggie McNeil, prostitute

Meagan Ingerman is listed as part of the team. Meagan is a prostitute AND childcare worker. A self-described kinkster expert who believes consensual kink community can teach us about child protection. Runs courses for bdsm 'beginners' (grooming teens). Here is an article of hers.

Prostasia campaigns so far:

1. Attempt to defeat FOSTA, a law to stop sex trafficking and which forced the shutdown of Backpage, a well-known under-age sex trafficking site. (with associate David Greene, Civil Liberties Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) former employer of Jeremy Malcom)

2. Lobby to defeat the Protection against Child Exploitation Act.

3. Lobby against any legislation to ban use of child sex dolls.

4. Lobby for 'comprehensive' (their words) sex education for children

Guy Hamilton-Smith is an advisor. Guy is a registered sex offender who was refused the bar exam in Kentucky because of his criminal record. Instead of seeing the error of his ways and try to make reparation, Guy now advocates for other paedophiles.

So: basically a bunch of educated paedophiles and child abusers have found one another (David Green, Jeremy Malcolm and Guy Hamilton-Smith) and--feeling hard done by, by a system that seeks to protect children--have banded together to lobby and advocate for paedophiles to make it easier to view images of children being tortured and abused; and access vulnerable children and groom and sexualise them in preparation for rape. They have done nothing to protect children, but have lobbied hard to exploit them and leave them unprotected.
