More than 4,300 people have signed the petition "My childhood is not content."
That’s more than just a number — it’s a collective voice. A quiet, rising force.
A clear sign that this issue matters, that it resonates, and that it calls us to action.

Thanks to your support, I’m proud to share the next step:

We’re officially moving toward the creation of OPNE (Organisme de Protection Numérique de l’Enfance), which translates to the Institute for Children's Digital Protection — a nonprofit organization dedicated to the digital protection of children.

What will OPNE stand for?
OPNE is an independent organization that will actively defend:
– children's right to privacy in digital spaces
– the regulation of children’s exposure on social media
– awareness campaigns for families, schools, and institutions
– the creation of educational and legal resources
– ethical research on childhood and technology

I’m not building this alone.
I’m building it with the support of your signatures, your messages, your stories, and everything still left unsaid.

I’ll keep you updated every step of the way because, together, we’re doing more than just calling something out.
We’re building a structure.
We’re organizing collective care.
We’re shaping a future where children are no longer treated as online content.

Thank you for being here from the very beginning.
This is just the start.

With heart and conviction,
Adriana Conrado
Founder of OPNE

To start, thank you all SO MUCH for the 25,000 signatures! Not only did the points raised in our letter receive a response from Bluesky Trust & Safety, but also Mr Singal himself chose to remove the offending posts which inspired our campaign. Nonetheless, the open-letter team is still deeply troubled by Bluesky Trust & Safety's clarification to the Community Guidelines which we believe will now tolerate private but non identifiable information shared without a person's consent. We believe that this clarification will allow posting of revenge porn so long as a name is not included, and we are certain this clarification has now allowed private medical information to be posted so long as a name is not included. Permitting such content enables Bluesky to be used as a platform for the distribution of blackmail material. 
For obvious reasons we ask Bluesky Moderation to reject their recent clarification and instead continue to enforce its existing Community Guidelines as they were written. We also ask that this community which has shown us tremendous support over these past few days to refrain from engaging in any behaviour one may believe to be permitted by these ill-advised ad-hoc clarifications to Bluesky's Community Guidelines and to instead continue holding ourselves to the previous Community Guidelines as they were written. For the time being we recommend for developers, public figures, and any users of this service to exercise extreme caution on the platform until further updates from Bluesky's Trust & Safety Team demonstrating an intent to return to enforcement of the existing Community Guidelines as they were written, or equivalent private information guidelines. 
We once again thank you all for your support so far in opening a dialogue that is greatly necessary for the long term success of this project. Until meaningful and beneficial moderation enforcement changes are made, we ask you to continue sharing this letter with anyone who may be impacted by the recent policy clarifications.

Update on Twizzler. 

Rabies test negative. What a surprise. Absolutely NO reason to have killed her. Why do they monitor domestic animals for 10 days for rabies, but automatically kill wildlife? I had her for 7 days. Couldn't they have waited 3 more days?  Such a waste of a beautiful little life. 

Also, the finder got the phone recording from the call to Pasco County (not Hernando... my bad) Animal Services. She sent it to me. She told them multiple times Twizzler did NOT bite, nor make any contact with her son. They didn't care. They said it was "exposure" to a rabies vector. The finder was very upset on the phone call and hung up on them. She is not to blame for any of this. She had no idea of what was coming.  The vet clinic that gave her the Animal Services number also told them that Twizzler had come to me. That's how they found out.
