And we are already seeing it come to fruition - with TER taking down their US ad boards and YourDominatrix.com shutting down their US listing section - and the thing hasn't even been signed yet - although we know it will be.

I just hope the self censorship doesn't get anymore widespread until we know how it is actually going to be enforced - if it ever is. Of course, no company wants to be the next Backpage.

There is a small amount of hope:
Writing on behalf of the U.S. Department of Justice, Assistant-Attorney General Stephen Boyd addressed Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Bob Goodlatte, expressing concerns that provisions of the bill would make it even harder to prosecute sex traffickers. Additionally they expressed concerns that certain provisions would violate the Constitution's Ex Post Facto Clause and thus be unconstitutional.

Again, I am waiting for the test case.
