Truly heartbreaking reading how sex workers are being swept away like it is nothing, this law doesn't prevent anything no it is killing them. LGBTQ are in danger, already when this law went in to effect 9 sex workers disappeared 2 where already found dead.
They removed them from google drive, instagram, facebook and the FBI closing backpage is just another thing that this bill does. It is a long read but depressing how awful it all goes this shouldn't happen at all.
FOSTA Law is killing them and not saving them, those who made this are dense as can be..

On April 11, the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA), which says websites can be held legally liable if their users post ads for prostitution, was signed into law. In the lead-up to its passage, the bill was responsible for the closure of a host of advertising and review sites used by sex workers, most prominently Craigslist Personals and Backpage, the latter of which was seized and shut down by the FBI.
The bill was intended to fight sex trafficking, but it has had a dangerous effect on the many sex workers who have consensually chosen the profession and who relied on the internet and its tools to keep themselves safe and make a living.
For many consensual sex workers, losing these free or low-cost advertising platforms means losing the ability to work indoors and the ability to screen clients ― two major factors that contribute to a sex worker's overall safety. (People being forced or coerced into prostitution also benefit from client screening and not having to work on the streets, the bill's opponents point out.)
