The police already go after people on the street for based on what they say and do—they go after sex workers

Internet spaces aren't safe for sex workers either. Aside from the destruction of sex worker forums, like Redbook—

—they get some pretty nasty harassment. When it escalates, you think they can call the cops? LOLLLL

If you look at things like revenge porn laws and the narrative that fuels them, they're all about nice women who have been coerced

Sex work is left entirely out of the picture, even though porn done consensually can be used to extort and humiliate—

—by connecting commercial pictures with legal names or other identities.

Can a law solve that? No, any law will have to leave sex workers in the cold, while crystallizing nudity as exceptional and bad

(exception: employment anti-discrimination, which has been completely abandoned as a legislative strategy in favor of criminalization)
