Project 2025 Censorship Expands, Geneva Consensus Declaration Fact Sheet and Remigration Arrives in Australia

New from GPAHE: Project 2025 Is Winning Its War on ‘Porn’ — and the Definition Covers LGBTQ+ Books and the Open Internet

Across libraries, schools and the internet, a broader censorship campaign is taking shape. In Arkansas, a federal appeals court has cleared the way for a law exposing librarians and booksellers to potential jail time for providing materials deemed “harmful to minors” and giving local governments greater control over library collections, with LGBTQ+ books among the first targets. Meanwhile, the SCREEN Act in Congress would require age verification for users accessing websites containing material deemed “harmful to minors,” potentially reaching platforms such as Netflix and Bluesky. Both efforts reflect a strategy outlined by Project 2025 and advanced by Christian nationalist allies to broadly define “pornography,” restrict access to LGBTQ+ content, and expand government control over what Americans can read, watch, and access online.

New from GPAHE: Following Further GPAHE Intervention, Meta Deplatforms Some Identitarian Groups and YouTube takes down videos

Following further reporting and intervention by GPAHE, Meta has removed 28 Identitarian accounts, including accounts linked to Generation Identity, the Remigration Summit, and Action Radar Europe, while YouTube has taken down two videos promoting white nationalist ideology. The removals represent increased enforcement against a movement that has used major platforms to spread the “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory and promote “remigration.” However, significant parts of the movement remain active online, with YouTube, Instagram, and other platforms continuing to host accounts tied to Identitarian and neo-Nazi networks.

New from GPAHE: Geneva Consensus Declaration Fact Sheet

The Geneva Consensus Declaration is part of a growing international campaign to roll back women’s and LGBTQ+ rights. Framed as a defense of women’s health, families, and national sovereignty, the declaration seeks to remove the international consensus recognizing abortion and reproductive healthcare as human rights while promoting a “traditional family” model centered on heterosexual marriage. Supported by governments with records of human rights violations and closely aligned with the Christian nationalist agenda of groups such as the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025, the GCD has become a vehicle for extending U.S.-backed anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ+ policies beyond U.S. borders. With Washington now serving as its secretariat, the United States has assumed a central role in coordinating and advancing the declaration’s international agenda.

The Guardian – Get rid of them’: One Nation senator claims party will ‘remigrate’ illegal visa holders in resurfaced interview

Australia’s One Nation is facing growing scrutiny over a senator’s repeated embrace of “remigration,” in recent podcast interviews and a speeches. Roberts called for deporting or “remigrating” at least 200,000 people, and said the party could move on to “higher numbers” afterward. The comments go well beyond One Nation’s published pledge to deport 75,000 illegal migrants and come as party leader Pauline Hanson has publicly expressed support for “mass deportations.” GPAHE has documented how “remigration” has evolved into a rallying concept for far-right movements internationally, advocating the forced removal of immigrants, refugees and even citizens based on race, ethnicity, culture or perceived failure to assimilate.
