Excited to share we are starting a new project on pornography and youth at @LeuvenMassComm to empower youth in their online sexual socialization. Our latest pub underlines why this is much needed 👇@helene_laporte @ChellyMaes @EggermontSteven econtent.hogrefe.com/doi/abs…

I was invited to Journaal Laat @vrtnws to discuss YouTube's new measures regulating children’s exposure to harmful appearance-related videos. 🧒📱They are a small step in the right direction towards creating a safer digital space for children! vrt.be/vrtmax/a-z/vrt-nws-la…
