Very happy to see this turning around. Short of concerted political action to get laws on the books, I feel like market push-back is the only way that sex workers will continue to have safe, legal ways to earn a living.https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1430505934015578112 …

Payment providers are usually quite picky when it comes to porn and gambling

I know, that's what I have been complaining about. (https://twitter.com/cmuratori/status/1428541887216975874 …)
Casey Muratori added,
Casey Muratori @cmuratoriI don't know, but I would assume this is because payment processors uniformly refuse to handle payments for a number of legitimate customers, such as sex workers. Which is yet another reason we need something like a common carrier law for merchant services. https://twitter.com/inputmag/status/1428421204055052296 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

As far as gambling, I'm less worried about that sort of thing, because I don't see "bookies" as a category of people who need gambling to exist in order for them to have safe, productive lives. Sex workers, on the other hand, absolutely need safe, profitable on-line spaces.

So long as the work remains legal in the US, I find it a disturbing puritanical throwback to have extrajudicial/extralegal enforcement of a "no sex work" law that doesn't exist, but that's exactly what has been happening, and it is deeply unfair.
