"An internet that is safe for sex workers is an internet that is safer for
everyone. Though the effects of stigmatization and criminalization run deep,
the sex worker community exemplifies how technology can help people reduce
harm, share support, and offer experienced analysis to protect each other. But
a 2018 federal law purportedly aimed at stopping sex trafficking, FOSTA-SESTA,
led to shutdowns of online spaces where sex workers could talk, putting at
increased risk some of the very people it was supposed to protect."
