Slixa Highlights FOSTA/SESTA's Far-Reaching Effects

LOS ANGELES — Slixa, a leading directory for escorts and private entertainers, has continued to weigh in on the industrywide fight against the FOSTA-SESTA "sex trafficking" law nearly a year after the controversial package bill was passed.

The online directory's blog has published several posts over the past few months highlighting the current plight of American sex workers since the law went into effect. They launched an essay contest last December, awarding Lucy Kahn first prize for her experience piece warning against the law's damaging effects on the community it was designed to protect. 

Slixa’s latest article takes aim at the Sex Worker Exclusionary Radical Feminists who claim to support women and fight for their rights and personal freedoms.

“Not all groups of women are being treated equally in the 2020 race to the feminist top; markedly, all women who announced their candidacy are pro-FOSTA-SESTA, leaving sex workers out in the cold,” noted the article. 

Since the passage of this law, adult entertainers have reported an increase in unsafe sexual practices, unsafe clients and reduced community resources and screening practices that fail to protect them. 

The article points out that in accordance with opinions of high-profile feminists of the past, like Gloria Steinem and her fight against pornography, the country’s female political figures are carrying on a one-sided legacy with their support of FOSTA-SESTA.

Morality in Media (National Center on Sexual Exploitation) has morphed and shape-shifted in recent years, and is not the institution it once was. However it has become abundantly clear that FOSTA-SESTA is the new porn. And on that front, every candidate has a stance. Let’s hope that 2020 offers plenty of room for hindsight,” the article claimed.
