And now we're getting SESTA/FOSTA 2: So You Thought You Had Some Refuge Somewhere https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/12/pornhub-squarely-targeted-in-bipartisan-bill-to-regulate-sex-work-online/

You know what would actually, for real cut down on exploitation and trafficking? Legalising sex work and building an actual social safety net! So they can actually use the legal protections most other workers at least in theory enjoy! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-55298303

This is your friendly reminder that "sex work is work" does not mean "sex work is a universal good." it means sex work is _labour_, and vulnerable to the same exploitation and alienation that any other labour is

Driving that work underground does not protect anyone except the people who profit off that fear.

Listen to sex workers. Push back against the puritans who want to force it back into hiding. And for goodness sake, don't pass any legislation making it harder for these workers
