Sex Workers are constantly navigating a whorephobic online ecosystem.
This lawsuit is just a small part of what is currently going on, and what we are going to see this year w/ anti-porn/anti-SW attacks on Section 230, payment processors & pressure on social media. https://twitter.com/kendraserra/status/1353450794062929921

Fear and anxiety are a normal response to the constant threat of: erasure, loss of income and loss of community.
Sex workers are constantly navigating this threat and adapting where we can. It is brutal and exhausting.

Shit comes at us so fast that it is often impossible to tell what impact is caused by what law/lawsuit/TOS change or platform response.
When I was studying the impact of FOSTA w @hackinghustling it was impossible to tell what was a result of FOSTA and what was a result of Backpage being seized, and just a larger overarching whorephobic hellscape.
So what do we do?
-We organize,
-we inform ourselves,
-we share information after vetting it,
-we share resources and money when we can,
-and we make the decisions that make the most sense for ourselves and our circumstances.

Everyone’s responses to the threat of online censorship and erasure will look different.
