Getting #FOSTA signed into law is one of the most significant anti-trafficking achievements in nearly two decades and is something of which I am immeasurably proud.

FOSTA has driven actual sex trafficking further underground, making it harder to detect/for LE to track. It’s also been *incredibly* harmful for consensual sex workers. Congratulations on that achievement! You should be super proud of yourself!

FOSTA accomplished 3 things: 1. Stifled free speech on the internet. 2. Drove women from the safety of the internet back into streetwalking. 3. As a direct result of # 2, brought the pimps out of the woodwork, IOW, INCREASED trafficking.

As a result, more women are working for agencies and brothels because they can no longer work for themselves.
