Change Makers
We invite you, as part of the Choose Change campaign, to congratulate and commend these leading organizations.
In addition to policies, layout, and monitoring to ensure the safety of patrons, the South Central Regional Library has filtering software on all of it Internet access stations. Drop them a line and let them know you appreciate these actions.
McDonald’s offers many amenities for families, including filtering on their complimentary WiFi service. Thank you McDonald’s.
Tim Hortons has the largest free WiFi service in Canada. Since they first introduced it in their restaurants in 2012, they have had filtering systems to restrict access to sites with violent, sexually explicit images. Thank you Tim Hortons.
About Choose Change
The goal of the Choose Change campaign is to reduce the ease of access to violent, sexually explicit images. Today’s “adult content” is misogynistic, violent, degrading, racist, and normalizes rape culture.
In response to the growing body of evidence that online pornography is contributing to a public health crisis, we are asking the public to join us in “Challenging the harms of sexually violent images.” We are asking the public to contact certain companies to encourage them to change detrimental practices and to embrace practices that will promote the overall health of Canadians.
We will be celebrating organizations who have or will make these positive changes by highlighting them on our Change Maker List.
The Choose Change campaign is sponsored by Defend Dignity.
