, the law was promoted as a means to combat sex trafficking, but in practice it eradicated websites and other platforms where consenting sex workers meet clients. The law was assailed for endangering sex workers and stifling free speech. By shutting down platforms, activists said, workers lose the means to protect themselves by vetting clients and avoiding dangerous situations.
Gabbard's office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on her previous support for FOSTA. “It hasn’t been a major issue in any presidential election that I’m aware of,” McCracken added, saying that insofar as sex work is discussed, it’s been in the context of banning sex trafficking.
