[Case in point] SESTA and FOSTA which created carve-outs of [Section 230] for Human Trafficking, which killed human trafficking ads on Backpage.

Except it didn't. [Backpage] was busted before the law was passed. Despite that they were actively cooperating with law enforcement to track higher-rank mobsters.

And then, traffickers returned to the streets and are now more active than ever.

In the meantime sex worker networking suffered since platforms closed down forums where violent and manipulative johns are reported. So the whole sex work industry suffered.

And because the social media platforms are chilled, some won't host LGBT+ support.

All for the kids, who are worse off since sex ed materials are also struggling to find tolerant hosts.
