In an encouraging sign for sex workers, California State Representative Ro Khanna and U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts have reintroduced the SAFE SEX Workers Study Act, which aims to study the effects of FOSTA-SESTA.
Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren (D) has signed up as co-sponsor of the controversial Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), a bill to limit online free speech which has been endorsed by homophobic religious conservative groups.
Last week, several Democratic members of Congress sponsored legislation, both in the Senate and the House, aimed at investigating the effectiveness of FOSTA-SESTA in its purported mission of fighting human trafficking.
Legislator Ro Khanna (D-CA), along with one other representative and two senators, introduced a bill Tuesday to study the secondary effects of SESTA/FOSTA on sex workers' safety.
Several mainstream media headlines this week heralded vague statements made by Democratic presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders supposedly concerning their “support” for “decriminalizing” sex work.
