Well, sex work has never been easy. One has to expect this kind of thing, when one works in an industry that nearly every country in the world is uncomfortable with, feels is immoral, and to some extent has made illegal (primarily for the women who dare to make a profit) at one point or another in history.
It's not actually "free speech" to be able to show your naked va-j-j on camera for money, nor to be able to arrange "dates" for money, etc. The ability to do so has varied greatly depending on who is interpreting the law at any given time. "Obscenity" is not protected by a free speech clause, and it has been left to generational (and sometimes regional) variances to determine what counts as an "obscenity." It's also not a right to be able to use whatever random social media/dating site might be affected by this - they are all private businesses that can run or not run whatever platforms and forms of moderation they see fit to curb their financial risk.
Also, is it actually news to anyone that FB and other social media platforms, Google, etc. collect personal data for profit? That has been well known for at least a decade. This is not news. That's why they will sometimes do random mass freeze-outs of accounts, and then demand photo ID/passport to reinstate the accounts - think about it, why in the world would FB need your home phone number, your passport, etc. just to verify an online social media account?? It was never about "security", "transparency," or "protecting the user." All of them also have ad tracking. And unless you have careful blocking scripts on your computer, whether you use social media or not, you're being tracked for marketing info every time you use the internet.
Child sex trafficking is a very serious and unfortunately common problem. Whether this legislation will have any positive impact is questionable. But I guess at least it's good someone is talking about it as an issue, whereas it was not addressed much previously in history, as a matter of major public discussion. It will make the less savvy child porn producers and pimps/traffickers quake in their boots and rethink what they're doing, which is good. It will unfortunately force the more sophisticated ones to go eve
