@emptywheel there were free sex work ads, free discussion forums for workers & customers, and then a paid customer review section -
@melissagira Oh that is crazy. -
@emptywheel maybe someone could make a speech case on this. Or on section 230 of CDA -- because this is all user-generated content -
@melissagira@emptywheel Can anyone confirm that political speech occured on the site? -
@MikeChaseACLU
@emptywheel probably. I know it did. Also health outreach. -
@melissagira @MikeChaseACLU@emptywheel Rather, announced - not paid ads -
@SabrinaMorgan@melissagira@emptywheel Thanks Sabrina. I'll pursue this more tomorrow.
