Em Coombes (Sociology, CREA), along with other collaborators, published the Manifesto for Sex Positive Social Media. This manifesto sets out guiding principles that governments, policy-makers, platforms, and other stakeholders can take into account in their design, moderation, and regulation practices. 

Human rights principles outline what sexual rights look like at an international policy level, and academic discourse on digital sexual citizenship explores access to online technologies, self-representation, and participatory cultures as practices of intimacy and sociability. This work can improve platforms by contributing important dimensions to research on platform governance, surveillance capitalism, and online gentrification.
