Mu is an umbrella organization for MAPs that has no official connection with MAP Camp. Following social media fallout over our prior press release and contact with media organizations, we issue the following response.
First of all, we are concerned that certain people have been labeled as responsible for hosting the event. Their personal information has been broadcast on social media, despite those individuals denying any association. We believe that such doxxing is dangerous, especially on an issue as sensitive as minor-attraction. People have been killed over accusations of "pedophilia",...

In an article published by The Guardian, IWF Chief Executive Susie Hargreaves claimed that "generative AI tools provide a playground for online predators to realise their most perverse and sickening fantasies."
