Fuck everyone pushing sex work sites and stores off the internet.
If you work for a tech company and are asked to start barring sex workers fucking resist.
@ada I would expect proprietary platforms like Etsy or PayPal to be arbitrarily shit, but nobody can stop you from using WordPress, it's free software
@vurpo the wordpress service not the software.
@ada do camsites etc. accept digital coinage? Might help mittigate the paypal problem at least.
@ada On the one hand, I agree with you.
On the other hand if companies flout the law they will be shut down by the government.
For this problem at least, fixing the government is the solution, not blaming a company for desiring continued existence.
@rotatingskull @ada even sex work that isnt illegal is being pushed out by services. it has little to do with legality
@rotatingskull @ada i feel very strongly about legalisation of sex work, but removing the social stigma around it is imperitave
@ada @rotatingskull tbh its demonizing sex work like this that reinforces the attitudes that's making it so hard to start down the road to legalisation :(
@rotatingskull @ada i feel like you're putting a lot of subtext into ada's argument that wasn't there so i'm bowing out
@ada I hate the Freedom Of Sex Trafficking Act even tho I'm not directly affected by it.
If the www isn't a safe place for sex workers to work then the web has fucking failed.
We need to make it easier for people to run businesses without being at the whim and mercy of wordpress, etsy or paypal.
