Sex And Social Media
Description
Can technology help society overcome social norms about sexuality? This panel connects experts from across the spectrum of sex education and adult entertainment to discuss how they use social media and other digital technologies to communicate with their respective communities and challenge the dominant sexual narrative. What sort of obstacles do we face when we talk publicly about sex--and what strategies can we use to battle censorship, shame, harassment, and other forces that work against the free flow of information?
