Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Before the first age verification bills were a glimmer in Louisiana legislators’ eyes three years ago, sexuality was always overpoliced online. Before this, it was (and still is) SESTA/FOSTA, which amended Section 230 to make platforms liable for what users do on them when activity could be construed as “sex trafficking,” including massive swaths and sometimes whole websites in its net if users discussed meeting in exchange for pay, but also real-life interactions or and attempts to screen clients for in-person encounters—and imposed burdensome fines if they didn’t comply. Sex education bore a lot of the brunt of this legislation, as did sex workers who used listing sites and places like Craigslist to make sure clientele was safe to meet IRL. The effects of SESTA/FOSTA were swift and brutal, and they’re ongoing. </p><p>We also see these effects in the obfuscation of sexual words and terms with algo-friendly shorthand, where people use “seggs” or “grape” instead of “sex” or “rape” to evade removal by hostile platforms. And maybe years of stock imagery of fingering grapefruits and wrapping red nails around cucumbers because Facebook couldn’t handle a sideboob means unironically horny fuckable-food content is a natural evolution to adapt.</p><p>Now, we have the Take It Down act, which experts expect will cause a similar fallout: platforms that can’t comply with extremely short deadlines on strict moderation expectations could opt to ban NSFW content altogether.</p><p>Before either of these pieces of legislation, it was (and still is!) banks. Financial institutions have long been the arbiters of morality in this country and others. And what credit card processors say goes, even if what they’re taking offense from is perfectly legal.
