FOSTA Would Be a Disaster for Online Communities

Recommended Posts

I'm with the EFF on this. It will be an utter disaster.

 

It hasn't even been signed into law yet... but already we've seen some significant changes. TER has removed its ads for US cities. Cityvibe (another US board) has shut down entirely. Reddit has removed some subreddits related to sex work for fear that some posts in them might be interpreted as ads. Craigslist has completely removed its entire personals section in the US.

 

People south of the border are clearly anticipating one hell of a crackdown. Given that we have Jeff Sessions as AG, I suspect they're probably right.
