The common sentiment in the US is that Mega Corporations have government influence that they shouldn't, not the other way around. Wikileaks was seen as a national security threat because it leaked files in an unredacted form. Wikileaks has even released sensitive personal information like credit card numbers and social security numbers. The reason Wikileaks was targeted after the election was because it was seen as a front for Russian manipulation in the US elections. And unfortunately Sex Workers in the US have always had a hard time with payment processors. The law you're talking about went into effect in 2018, FOSTA-SESTA, and was painted as a law to help fight sex trafficking. Backpage was was the reason the law went into effect and that website was used for sex trafficking. Safer sights got caught up in the new law. From what I have read the change in handling OnlyFans might have been a response to the BBC investigation about how the site dealt with people posting illegal content. [1] They used a warning system instead of immediate consequences for people that brought in a lot of users and revenue. It's also not just US laws. Both US COPPA and EU AVMSD laws on porn and age verification made YouTube ask for credit cards or a driver's license in order to verify your age. The UK has much stricter rules on the type of porn you can consume and make, the US is relatively wild in comparison. [2] The US definitely has issues but if any country can be blamed for draconian sex policies, I would argue it's the UK. Internet filtering was implemented "for the children" starting back in 2013. 1. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58255865 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58255865 2. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_the_United_Kingdom https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_the_U...
