Please read that instead of pretending this is some academic debate that won't result in women being abused as a result. People will suffer long term consequences.

I wish I lived in a world where the opinions of actual sex workers (and similar advocates) had the most sway regarding legislation intended to protect them. Though I am tempted to say nominally intended to protect them. In this case, I suspect that actually protecting them is not the goal. The actual goal appears to be expressing weird puritan guilt or something. Geez.

  So do I. Sadly, we are not living in that world.

> People will suffer long term consequences. I don't disagree. I also stand by my comment. Organizarions are acting out of an abundance of caution. That may persist or it may change depending on what happens when a company actually gets prosecuted under SESTA/FOSTA.

  Fair enough if you meant the purely legal/policy sense rather than the actual people involved.

    To talk about one is to talk about the other. Bad policy is the reason we are having this conversation.
