Yes, it does affect us, but let's not forget that FOSTA/SESTA, as well as the general stigma around sex work puts sex workers at real risk of violence and death.

Even "progressive" companies like Cloudflare kicked us off with ZERO warning after Switter (a social platform for sex workers) was covered in the press (https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/19/17256370/switter-cloudfla...), but neo-Nazi platforms were were given detailed blog posts on why they were kicked off (https://blog.cloudflare.com/why-we-terminated-daily-stormer/ & https://blog.cloudflare.com/terminating-service-for-8chan/), and only after massive pressure from the community after people DIED. But a website where the goal is to increase safety for sex workers? Gone without warning.

It's bullshit like this that further strengthens our resolve to ensure that we (Assembly Four) continue to exist so we can continue to use our privilege to assist one of the most stigmatised groups in the world.
