US Government: We're going to start demanding that social media websites crack down on sex workers
Sex workers: Oh yeah? We don't need you. We'll start our own social media, with blackjack and hookers.
@SadistHailey and can't they prosecute the admins of this mastodon if they really want to?
@ErisMartinet @SadistHailey nah, the servers are based in Australia. :D
@omgheatherjana @SadistHailey OK. who's to say Australia doesn't do a Fosta / Sesta too? UK already is in the process of banning porn and thinking of the nordic model. It's a worldwide trend.
@ErisMartinet @SadistHailey that wasn't your question though. (you were specifically referring to US govn't reach.) in any case, if something like that happens eventually, moving the server to a different country is an option, but we can cross that bridge if/when we come to it. @switter
@omgheatherjana @SadistHailey @switter you're right it wasn't my initial q. But there is much to consider; the CLOUD act too, just passed, allows US police to bypass court order to ask for all your data if they want to. from a foreign gov. Soooo not looking good innit
@ErisMartinet @SadistHailey @switter plus all of this hinders on FOSTA/SESTA (1) actually being signed into law (which has not been done yet) and (2) not being struck down in the courts as unconstitutional (which it 100% is)
