Evan,

Thank you for compiling this assortment of news articles. The fact that stuck out to me was that Free the Nipple began as a movement in 2012. It seems like that hashtag has been around for so much longer.

On September 27, Wisconsin State Senator Chris Kapenga and Representative Cindi Duchow (both Republicans from Delafield) issued a "co-sponsorship memorandum" seeking support among Wisconsin legislators for two proposed bills, characterized as the "Child Protection Act", specifically targeting the World Naked Bike Ride.

We expect some of our people to get very nervous about this, but I would point out that this isn't even a bill yet, and would have many hurdles to jump before becoming a law.

This looks like yet another 'save the children' reason being used, just as it has been in other body freedom matters, as well as the numerous recent attempts to restrict internet freedoms around the world by allowing governments backdoor access to online communications by using children as the excuse to do so. I am very against children suffering in all ways, but I don't like them being used to stop E2EE.

Haircuts happen at home here, why get dressed to have one?!

It looks like similar sectors of the media in the USA are reacting to Naked Education and Naked Attraction in similar ways to narrow-minded echo chambers in the UK. Click bate generating = advertising income from big tech. Their versions of the news of the nudes continuously help them generate that income, where is the nudies' 10%?

I believe the Strictly Come Dancing themed nude party is selling tickets well, not sure how all those sequins and nudists mix. A see through body 'paint' with shiny things thenadded artfully/added in a ticker tape style manner?
