      It does look like the whole false memory theory was blown out of proportion:

      https://news.isst-d.org/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-false-memory-syndrome-foundation/

      https://neurosciencenews.com/false-memories-psychology-28326/

      Even more so, “satanic panic“ is a term that contains some truth (“tread carefully, conspiracy nuts territory“) but the overgeneralization makes it so actual organized abuse structures and its victims are dismissed too easily. Plenty of hard fact cases of such structures exist. See also for example the recent warning by Europol and the research into structures such as 764. The Bhagwan/Osho cult and many others can serve as prominent examples.

      https://www.europol.europa.eu/media-press/newsroom/news/intelligence-notification-violent-online-communities-threaten-children

      https://gnet-research.org/2024/01/19/764-the-intersection-of-terrorism-violent-extremism-and-child-sexual-exploitation/

      Reality is all shades of grey (or colors), not black and white. I find it important to warn of the dangers of such spiritual abuse communities and its techniques, and to not dismiss it as nonexistent and an invention of some esoteric nutjobs with the wave of a hand, which is what this terminology is doing. This attitude drives more people into such structures.

      Why not? Because nobody is printing guns!

      This is demonstrably untrue: https://gnet-research.org/2025/01/08/beyond-the-fgc-9-how-the-urutau-redefines-the-global-3d-printed-firearm-movement/

      Why would you waste everyone's time posting such nonsense? It's not that I support this legislation, but arguing against with counterfactual statements is unhelpful noise.

    • BryantDDec 2024

      I recommend Marc-Andre Argentino's research on the 764 network. Teens and kids are, to some degree, self-radicalizing.

      https://gnet-research.org/2024/01/19/764-the-intersection-of-terrorism-violent-extremism-and-child-sexual-exploitation/ (disturbing details of child abuse)

    • cultusJan 2021

      Deplatforming works. A few people follow to other sites, but most don't. It also becomes harder to attract new cultists if one is shut out of major services.

      Because this group is steering towards very dangerous grounds rapidly. [0]
