This is a follow-up to my post on the EARN IT act, which as of this writing has not gone through a vote in the Senate or House in the US yet, but it's still there.
Another initiative has been brought up in Congress which, unlike Earn It, seeks to actually help for once. The SAFE SEX Workers Study Act is a means to look into the actual damaging effects to sex workers (Meaning camgirls/boys, for example) caused by another law passed a few years ago called SESTA/FOSTA. This is meant to show how much worse it's gotten for innocent workers rather than actual sexual predators since SESTA/FOSTA and how much worse a law like EARN IT could make things. It will help with the decriminalization of sex work and help reverse the demonization of sex in general.
It might not be immediately apparent, but sex workers and hentai artists are in the same boat. When one suffers, it's bad news for the other. EARN IT is designed to completely erase any and all NSFW from the internet and LGBT+ communities and sex education sources will be caught in the crossfire. You don't want that. Even if you don't follow any sex workers who aren't artists, the entire community is counting on the SAFE SEX Workers Study Act. That's why I encourage the US citizens among you to contact your senators and urge them to support that instead of EARN IT.
I can't force you to act even if I wanted to, but I really hope you will at least consider it if you truly enjoy anything NSFW. Remember, the First Amendment cannot stop a law like EARN IT from being enforced because it's not stopping SESTA/FOSTA. If it were that simple, laws wouldn't have needed to be made in the 90's to prevent this very thing from happening online.
Plus, when EARN IT is gone, I can finally stop talking about it, so there you go.
