(The bulky acronym combines the Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act and the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act.) Under FOSTA-SESTA, this content, even if it’s just shared among sex workers on Twitter, could be construed as conduct that “assists, supports, or facilitates” sex trafficking. In fact, by eliminating digital resources that protect all kinds of sex workers from violence, FOSTA-SESTA would drive sex work into more obscure and dangerous territory. But this legislation would foreclose the possibility of sex workers supporting sex workers. Sex workers across the country, including survivors of sex trafficking, are vehemently opposed to FOSTA-SESTA.
