2/19/2016 – Terry Crews
Terry Crews is known by many as an actor and former American football player. He is very well know for his appearances in Old Spice commercials. Terry is very active on Facebook and frequently speaks from his heart. Terry gets our CleanKudos today because of a recent video he posted on Facebook talking about pornography. As of this writing Terry’s video has been viewed almost 300k times, has been shared over 1,500 times and liked by 17k people.
That video alone has the potential of influencing many men and women to step up and make good decisions related to pornography use. Thank you Terry for speaking from your heart and inviting us to “man up”.
2/23/2016 – Indonesia
Indonesia has banned the blogging platform Tumblr, saying that the site distributes pornographic content.
Unlike Facebook and some other social networks, Tumblr allows adult content on its site.
The closure was part of a wider crackdown, with nearly 500 sites shut down by authorities, according to Indonesian media.
We congratulate Indonesia for their bold stance against pornography.
