One of the performers quoted summed it up well in the article:
> "The real target of these groups is not to help victims or fight illegal content on the internet, but to ban all forms of adult material."
A few years ago I was doing some research to figure out how I felt about SESTA/FOSTA, and one of the things I quickly came to realize is that a lot of groups and politicians who are ostensibly anti-trafficking are actually anti-porn, and use the boogieman of trafficking to build a broader coalition than they could on a purely anti-porn agenda.
