> A law that among other things, can bring federal charges for mere facilitation of violating federal sex trafficking laws This is a mischaracterization of the legislation. This legislation does not change Federal criminal law (as the EFF has pointed out in several of their articles). What this legislation does is clarify that Federal law in the specific area of sex trafficking does not preempt State law or provide any immunity for those who promote prostitution against civil suits by the victims of sex trafficking. I would strongly encourage everyone to read the text of these bills. They are only a few paragraphs long and they are very clear and very narrowly focused. All of the rhetorical grandstanding about sweeping erosions of civil liberties is very off base here and anyone who reads the bills will see that.
