Here is the link to a Twitter thread discussion I did in March of 2018 about the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017, or FOSTA-SESTA.
This thread came after I'd read FOSTA-SESTA a couple of times and had more time to research the sex work industry and how that industry regards issues about sex trafficking. The thread reflects that thought but also my continuing thoughts on freedom of sexual expression, the sexual expression of LGBTQ people, and the way this law seems to target both of those things online. The thread also asks if the online platforms people use every day have gotten so big, they need to be thought of as vehicles of free speech, not just as companies. And it questions sex- and LGBTQ-related police activity and initiatives in my home state of Colorado.
