Woodhull, Screaming O Issue Statement on Summit Workshop

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Representatives from Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit and The Screaming O have issued a joint statement regarding the Summit Workshop presented by the manufacturer:   “On Aug. 4, experts paid for by Screaming O participated in a workshop dealing with body safe sex toys, held at the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit 2017. The Summit was hosted by the Woodhull Freedom Foundation. Screaming O did not sponsor the workshop as Woodhull does not permit sponsored workshops. The panel was recorded by Screaming O, and a video of the entire presentation was published on Screaming O’s website. Due to some miscommunications and misunderstandings by both parties as to the need to obtain audience consent prior to recording the workshop, the published video included audio recording of audience participation. The full video has since been removed from Screaming O’s website, and replaced with an edited version which does not include any audience participation. Both parties apologize for any confusion that may have resulted from this issue, and ScreamingO has agreed to never publish any portion of the video containing audience participation. It will further cooperate in efforts to remove the video from any third-party outlets. Woodhull and ScreamingO respect the privacy rights of the Summit attendees and are happy this matter has been resolved in an amicable fashion.”
