This is the first I am hearing of this - bills in the US that CLAIM to be about stopping sex trafficking. Who could be against that? Look a little closer.
These bills do nothing to stop sex trafficking - they eliminate free speech online by default. It makes sites liable for content, so, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon - liable for the posts by their users and books published by their authors. Apparently Amazon is already taking down romance novels! Say goodbye to healthy information about safe sex, lgbtq+ spaces, and yes, erotica and romance novels. You think censorship is bad now? Wait until they decide, much like YouTube's safe viewing filter for schools algorithms, that anything that even mentions gay people is questionable content and delete it. That site that teaches the sex ed you never got in school thanks to abstinence-only programs is now dirty and perverse because a Christian zealot will sue, and taken down. That romance author you like can no longer publish.
This effects non-Americans, too, because Facebook and Amazon and Twitter and whatnot are all American, hey? They won't care where the AUTHOR is, merely where the centralized company is.
From the site:
"Online platforms are enabled by a law referred to as Section 230. Section 230 protects online platforms from liability for some types of speech by their users. Without Section 230, social media would not exist in its current form, and neither would the plethora of nonprofit and community-based online groups that serve as crucial outlets for free expression and knowledge sharing.
If Congress undermines these important protections by passing SESTA/FOSTA, many online platforms will be forced to place strong restrictions on their users’ speech, silencing a lot of marginalized voices in the process."
SCREAM THIS SHIT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!
