DIGITAL HYGIENE: Best practices for providers in the digital world.

A year after FOSTA-SESTA was signed into law, many of us remain uncertain and afraid for our safety, livelihood, and projects. On one hand, no legislation in recent memory has so loudly threatened our communities. On the other, we in the Bay Area live in a bastion of partial tolerance, which dampens many of the harshest repercussions of crappy laws.

Our communities are filled with professional BDSM practitioners who conduct business online. Juggling tweets, snaps, and clips, it can be hard to tell what is peril, and what is panopticon. This workshop is the beginning of a discussion on digital hygiene in the current climate.

Join us for an engaging, interactive discussion on how to conceptualize and craft our work in 2019!

We will talk about:

• the realities of BDSM and the law
• goal setting for the digital world
• how to align your best practice with your goals
• potential pitfalls of technology
• advertising mediums, risks, dos and probably shouldn'ts
• the role of self care in best practices
