Absolutely. What a concept, huh?
On Twitter this week, Rep. Ro Khanna and Sen. E Warren announced a bill "to investigate the unintended consequences of SESTA/FOSTA. This landmark study will be the first of its kind #IDEVASW19"

could be significant. She also authored a bill to take away banking rights from anyone involved in the sex trade. Does she recognize the harm in this as well?
Rep Khanna voted against FOSTA/SESTA, along with only three other representatives concerned about rights and freedom of speech on the internet, despite the bad optics of voting against what was presented as an anti-trafficking bill. Below is a link to an article on his website entitled: "SEX WORKERS WARNED EVERYONE ABOUT FOSTA-SESTA"
