Hijacking the Brain
How Pornography Works
By Dr. Albert Mohler
We are fast becoming the pornographic society. Over the course of the last decade, explicitly sexual images have crept into advertising, marketing, and virtually every niche of American life. This ambient pornography is now almost everywhere, from the local shopping mall to prime-time television.
By some estimations, the production and sale of explicit pornography now represents the seventh-largest industry in America. New videos and Internet pages are produced each week, with the digital revolution bringing a host of new delivery systems. Every new digital platform becomes a marketing opportunity for the pornography industry. Read more...

A guide to understanding the changes to your profile

By Lisa Eldred If you have been using Facebook for any length of time, you're aware that they change their layout and privacy settings frequently. With the introduction of Google+ as a competitor in July, Facebook has been ramping up its efforts to improve the experience of its users and match some of the other social network's innovations. Some of these enhancements were released just before the F8 conference on September 22, and more will be rolled out in the coming weeks. The good news is, the competition means users win. Facebook now has more open, intuitive privacy settings, rivaling those of Google+. However, some of their changes actually increase the risk of sharing information that would be better kept private.

One of the biggest Internet safety concerns of many parents is the prevalence of online video, particularly on YouTube. And for good reason: more video is uploaded to YouTube in one month than the three major US television networks created in 60 years. But it's not all kittens playing piano or My Little Pony. Quite a few videos, both professional and user-created, would be considered inappropriate for most audiences.
That's why we've created a new resource, "The Parent's Guide to Protecting Kids on YouTube." This guide will lay the groundwork for talking to your kids about YouTube, and will help you set up a safe corner for yourself and your family.
