Yeah, first I’ve heard of this and I read a lot of different sources for news.
>The bill is worded so broadly that it could even be used against platform owners that don’t know that their sites are being used for trafficking.
The legal creep on this will be astounding.
>SESTA/FOSTA upends that balance, opening platforms to new criminal and civil liability at the state and federal levels for their users’ sex trafficking activities.
Hmm, so if traffickers happen to check the weather from noaa.gov would it get shut down? I’m sure not but this seems like a similar site could.
>While we can’t speculate on the agendas of the groups behind SESTA, we can study those same groups’ past advocacy work. Given that history, one could be forgiven for thinking that some of these groups see SESTA as a mere stepping stone to banning pornography from the Internet or blurring the legal distinctions between sex work and trafficking.
