In brief, parties hosting content online are thought to be immune against civil litigation because they can't be held responsible for user-generated content on their platforms.

This exception provides individuals, especially victims of sex trafficking, an avenue to bring sites that were complicit in their abuse to justice. An example cited is the infamous Backpage.com which advertised sex trafficking services and would not be protected by Section 230 in a civil case.

The essence of the program is that for 90 days men (you can't complete it alone; you must join a group of men) abstain from a long list of wordly pleasures including: sweets, snacking between meals, alcohol, television, unnecessary internet & phone use, video games, meat on Wednesdays and Fridays, hot water showers, and music that doesn’t lift our hearts to God. In addition to the 'Thou shalt nots', there are the 'Thou shalts' including exercising 3 times a week, getting a full night's sleep, checking in with the men in your group weekly, and spiritual devotions including morning offering, scriptural study, holy hour, and evening examen. Not for the faint of heart, but for the courageous.

Requires a trial/subscription to read. In short, there is much public fear, uncertainty and doubt about the effect of technology on mental health and wellbeing. The author interviews a psychologist from the Oxford Internet Institute who argues that the scientific trials for evaluating the impacts of modern technology (screen time) should be treated like food health trials and we shouldn't be quick to come to conclusions without a lot of supporting data. The author himself asserts that screens are just the latest 'scapegoat' (that past generations panicked the same way over video games, television, radio, and even books). The overall tone of the article is to not 'throw the baby out with the bathwater' when evaluating your relationship with screen time.

[Reading the full paper requires a purchase or access through your organization.] A scientific research paper that supports the idea people possessing high levels of self-control are those who use self-regulation strategies to avoid temptation before it happens. "[A]voiding temptation is itself an act of self-regulation... one requiring forethought, effective anticipation, and self-knowledge. Although people with weak self-control might benefit most from the strategy of avoiding temptation, they may be least likely to use it." Or as someone once put it to me: 'A fight you don't get in is a fight you win by default.'

A storefront for purchasing books on the Christian life and sexual purity authored by Fred Stoeker and Stephen Arterburn. [CAVEAT EMPTOR] The main feature, Every Man's Battle, has been heavily criticized as seeming to promote shame, objecitification of women, and paints an overly negatively picture of men as sexual beasts. Tim Challies worried that descriptions within the book were unnecessarily detailed and could lead men to lust by reading it. Jason Evert called examples within the book 'unchaste'. Sheila Wray Gregoire and Sarah McDugal believe it presents a framework that objectifies women and enables abuse. However, if you look around you will also find many positive reviews of the book as well. Do you have an opinion on it? Let us know using the contact link at the top right!

When Alicia Kozakiewicz was 13 she was abducted from her home by a man who had groomed her online. He raped and tortured her, and streamed the abuses on the Internet. This stream led to an anonymous tip being shared with the FBI who rescued Alicia after 4 days of imprisonment and torture. Since the traumatic event, Alicia has dedicated her life to spreading awareness to parents and children about how to prevent what happened to her from happening to anyone else, and trying to pass Alicia's Law--a bill which would require all 50 states to provide funding to the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force.
