        I do not begrudge the woman her happiness, but the fact of the matter is that this bill will do nothing to prevent trafficking and by many accounts will make it harder to stop. Backpage was raided and shut down prior to the signing of the bill.

        The fact that the government could do that proves that SESTA/FOSTA was not necessary and highlights the unconstitutionality of the law. The law chills protected speech about adult consensual sexuality and imposes ex post facto liability.

        The DOJ recognized this and wrote to Congress to share its concerns. The DoJ also pointed out that by adding an element to be proved at trial, the law actually burdens prosecutors. So the bill is over broad and unnecessary. Meanwhile

        several web platforms not the target of trafficking reports have self-censored and/or gone offline out of fear of liability under the law. Consensual sex workers, whose voices were ignored during the legislative process, have lost their

        access to web sites that enable them to screen clients and share information that keeps them safe. There are already reports of sex workers who have gone missing after taking to the streets in the absence of their online resources.

        When you read the local papers and find stories about women murdered in hotel rooms or disappearing from the streets, or about future trafficking victims, ask yourself - wasn’t SESTA supposed to stop this?

        What numerous organizations will tell you is that the real solution is to decriminalize consensual adult sex work. The reason for this is that in a decriminalized environment, exploited people can utilize law enforcement and social services to access help

        without fear of arrest. This isolates the criminals and enables them to be held accountable for their rapes, kidnappings, extortions, and murders. Pushing them and their victims into the shadows, as SESTA does, makes it harder to find and catch them.

        He signs with a broad-point permanent marker? That seems rather egotistical and childish. How did Obama sign? Trump isn't even using his actual signature. He never signed his homework in letters that tall (since 3rd grade).

        That must be why he did so badly in college. HE claims he was THE best; his teachers disagree. Money doesn't buy brains.
