Lets remind people why this happened in the first place: extremist christian org "Exodus Cry" petitioned high power people in board roles to defund sex work companies.

Exodus cry's mission is seeking the abolition of the legal commercial sex industry, including pornography, strip clubs and sex work, as well as illegal sex trafficking. So, their gameplan is to always claim the last one (illegal sex trafficking) and child porn, to greatly muddy the waters of legitimate sex work.

Exodus Cry previously went after PornHub after they made claims of child porn and sex trafficking. PH ended up getting disconnected from payment processors, and they ended up deleting 14 million videos down to their verified members only.

Long story short: the drug war failed. And banning sex work for similar temperance reasons will only help people be LESS safe and run sex work underground (with no legal protections). Then again, that's this slimy christian org's goal.
