SESTA/FOSTA: the European perspective

SESTA/FOSTA sucks. There is no doubt.
But I'm going to chime in with a European perspective.
Although this law is predominantly USA based, it has global reaching consequences. Dommes (and all other forms of sex workers) are shitting themselves over here too. Although, sex work is not illegal in most European countries and in some countries (Germany, Holland, Suisse) it is actually legal and regulated.
Since this law has unfortunately come into effect, with its draconian outlook and vague definitions, we have seen Twitter, IG, Facebook, Google analytics etc change their terms of use. Although some of this could be down to Facebook's data mining criticisms, the social media giants probably took this as a good time to do some massive house keeping.
Social media has been My main source of traffic to My website. And what a bonus, its free! However, now we will have to change the way we word things. We have already been shadow banned and easily closed down with no explanation.
However, I personally think the storm will eventually blow over and this will be a short term thing (ok for the next year or so - we are after all the "oldest profession"). We will find a way around things.
Backpage has been down in the US for a lot longer than it has elsewhere. For Me in Paris, it was My main source of advertising. Also when I went home to Vancouver it was very fruitful. But there is no doubt in My dirty mind that someone, somewhere as I type this is developing BP V2 or something similar. Look at how quickly Switter came about.
I don't think SESTA will effect those of us who have have built our reputations over many years in the long term. But it will be harder for the "insta-dommes" to build a reputation and it will also be harder for established Dommes who tour to carve out a new territory.
The demand won't go away. And neither will we. We will just have to be a lot more creative moving forward.
Stay strong sisters!
With love from Paris,
Lady Bellatrix
