Wtf is going on. As usual it's not tech bringing on the dystopian, it's the supposed do-gooders on the peripheral of tech and railing against it, including in the government. They're the new temperance movement people and this is another one of their mistargeted, misguided 'moral' crusades.

- wolverine876 3y agoHow do progressives and the religious right agree on prostitution?
- hindsightbias 3y agoYou mean human trafficking.
- wolverine876 3y agoProgressives generally protect sex workers, IME, and argue against their prosecution.
- cvalka 3y agoProgressives want to prosecute evil men (paid sex consumers).
- wolverine876 3y agoNot as far as I know: most progressives want to legalize sex work. (Of course, it's hard to paint any group with just one brush.) They want to prosecute people who abuse prostitutes. Progressive DAs where prostitution is illegal do focus more on the customers, if that's what you mean. How is that similar to the religious right - I've never heard them say that.
- cvalka 3y agoThe religious right believe it's immoral. Progressives believe it's an exploitation of women. They are now both playing a silly game of PR labelling prostitution = human trafficking
- wolverine876 3y agoCould you apply that theory to this situation? It seems pretty dystopian now, sans regulation.
