Reminder that legislation to fight child trafficking usually end up punishing and putting sex workers into dangerous positions

Sesta/Fosta made it so that SWer who were doing business online with, safe screening processes, back into the street

Sesta/Fosta made sites liable for trafficking (instead of actually attempting to attack systems of poverty, racism and patriarchy that make trafficking the monster it is)

So websites like back pages shut down their escort page, despite this being a much safer avenue for full service sex workers.

The #EarnIt act would require end to end encryption to create a back door for law enforcement (essentially ending end to end encryption). That means apps like Signal would no longer be able to provide it (signal has been essential in keeping protestors safe.)

Encryption helps keep activists safe while they fight their good fight.

Also important to note that many SWers are fighting for the #decriminalization of sex work because legalization opens up a lot of avenues for capitalist pigs to swoop in and become legal pimps (just look at strip club owners)
