Abstract
This thesis investigates the evolving role of the queer child in discourses of digital rights and internet privacy.Emerging out of anxieties surrounding the wellbeing and safety of children in an increasingly networked environment and media panics about alarming rates of queer youth suicide, the protection of this figure has become critical for policy makers and educators.In the eyes of these actors, the queer child is seen as being at risk and in need of protection from new media technologies which encroach on the traditional boundaries of childhood.This thesis critically examines how the figure of the queer child is conceptualized by actors working to legislate its protection.By analyzing legal arguments, policy initiatives, and social media campaigns aimed to protect queer children, this thesis demonstrates how the queer child is conceptualized primarily through the lens of injury and victimhood, paving the way for a protectionist approach which understands the internet as an object of danger and works to restrict access to potentially formative resources for queer youth.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
