, a controversial 2018 piece of legislation that sex workers say was intended to curb online sex trafficking, but ultimately prevented them from advertising and vetting clients, thus driving them onto the streets and making them more vulnerable to violence. Failing to reference repealing SESTA/FOSTA while feinting support in favor of decriminalization is an empty gesture, McCracken says.
That’s not to say, however, that Warren’s statement is totally meaningless, or that the fact that a major presidential candidate is openly speaking in favor of sex work decriminalization isn’t significant.
