"Whore: Ragnarok (H.R. 1865)"


  

          

So Congress just passed a bill aimed at stopping "sex trafficking". Doing so will now get you up to 10 years in prison. The problem is the wording is so vague that basically anything that can be seen as "pay for play" is now sex trafficking.

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/03/how-congress-censored-internet

Reddit immediately shuttered their r/hookers sub. Craiglist took down their personals section. Sites have begun closing, and once Trump signs this into law this week, the dominoes will continue to fall.

Sex worker advocates say this will force them back into the streets and this bill takes away the tools they used to screen clients.

How will this affect "sugar baby" sites like seeking arrangements? Under this law, even Instagram would be liable if its users sell pussy thru their platform.

Looks like the golden age of trickin off the net is coming to an end. It's gunna be a cold summer for a lot of hos

Do you throw away your perfect "nuclear family" marriage to say "My marriage is a sham, and I've been dating this man/woman on the side." or fully come clean and do the 10 years?

You can only use a number + pictures and a social media link must be included. Once the bill gets signed into law, that whole dating section is coming down. This bill is specifically aimed at backpage

Dating sites, too. Tinder, POF, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, et. al.

People aren't products on a shelf, or there to be gawked and obsessed over.

These all help to promote the culture of sex trafficking.

... "roses" or 'generous gentleman" or whatever other coded language that is used to advertise sexual services.

It's clear that a lot of sex trafficking business flows through these "normal" social media sites everyday, in plain view.

If the goal is to protect young women and men from sex trafficking, then these sites need to go.

I don't understand much about the prostitution black market, or the porn industry.

Are you suggesting that regular taxpayers will substitute "filming porn videos" for "hiring a hooker for sex?"

refer to this law and any case work from it to tie in hate-speak online.

If a site is facilitation hate speech and one of these guys on the site goes out and shoots up a church, then shouldn't that site be held accountable for facilitating the hate?

Yeah, this is gonna go 100 ways sideways.
