President Donald Trump signed the FOSTA legislation on the 11^th of April. The new law aims to combat human trafficking by inhibiting the legal blankets that online platforms hide behind. The CEO of Cloudfare, a content distribution network, comments on the situation that it is “just a bad law” in terms of not knowing how authorities will enact it or how customers will operate without online sex communities.

One of the most recent online social media platforms for sex workers to shut down due to FOSTA, was Switter. Advocacy groups are worried that sex workers won’t be the only marginalized group targeted with the new law. Switter was used as a communication medium between sex workers and workers and their clients.

Cloudflare CEO continues her frustrations about the new law and how it doesn’t answer fundamental questions such as “who is it meant to encompass?” and is it supposed to affect companies such as Cloudflare with deep infrastructures.

The implementation of the SESTA law may have dire consequences for the sex worker community especially for Trans sex workers who are afforded less privilege than other sex workers, says advocacy group Survivors Against SESTA.

On Wednesday, President Trump signed the SESTA law, meaning websites will be liable for what users say on their websites. The law is said to be an initiative to combat human trafficking. However, advocacy groups and sex worker communities think otherwise.

Some sex workers use ad forum websites such as Craigslist and Backpage.com to put up ads and screen clients for their safety. Advocacy groups are also concerned for Trans sex workers as they are being forced to go back on the streets where they face more harassment and abusive policing.
