What is a sugar daddy, really? The answer might disturb you. Brook Urick takes us into the shadowy world of sugar dating, where young women are lured into dangerous situations under the guise of financial security. From being a would-be sugar baby to becoming the public face of SeekingArrangement, Urick unveils the unsettling truth about these platforms and their role in enabling predatory behavior. Urick's revelations go beyond personal experience. She exposes how these websites intentionally protect exploiters, with their founder even caught in a sting operation attempting to meet a minor. With the passage of FOSTA-SESTA in 2018, making these platforms criminally liable, she questions why they still exist. Her goal? To bring public awareness and legal scrutiny to an industry built on deception and harm. Shermer and Urick discuss the realities of sugar dating, the blurred lines between sex work and exploitation, and the psychology of men and women in the industry. They explore legal and ethical debates, feminist perspectives, and societal consequences of prostitution and pornography. Urick shares her experiences at SeekingArrangement, including the dangers young women face and the website's role in fostering systemic abuse and deception.

Hi! Welcome to Season 6! We start this month of films centered around sex work with Robert Vincent O'Neil's story of girl supporting herself by working Hollywood Blvd, Angel. If dealing with that wasn't enough, there's also a killer on the loose...Get ready for some talk about FOSTA/SESTA. Outro: Evie Sands performing Angel of the Morning

Fall into the sugaring underworld with Brook, who worked behind the scenes at notorious sugar daddy website SeekingArrangement while trying her own luck as a sugar baby. Part coming of age memoir and part exposé with a twist of grim dating advice, Brook's story parallels her unusual relationship history with her ascension working for a pseudo-dating website designed to protect predatory men. Through media manipulation and dangerous lies, the company acts as an agency for sex trafficking and exploitation on an enormous scale. Her story points a spotlight on this dark corner of the internet and its insidious prominence in modern society. Between pressures from a controversial CEO and the confusion of navigating her own misguided sex work, she learns the truth about an evil machine that hides pedophiles in plain sight. Many underage sex trafficking reports from law enforcement and women's centers cite a sugar daddy website as the root cause of abuse. A law was passed in 2018 called FOSTA-SESTA that holds websites criminally responsible for their part in facilitating the internet sex trade. So why aren't these websites being investigated? Brook is wondering the same thing.   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Not to be freaky but there are some major freedoms at stake in this country. Diana and I do a dive deep into the challenges facing freelance models and photographers in the ever-evolving landscape of policies and regulations. We explore the significant impact that the 2018 law SESTA-FOSTA has already had on the creative industry, focusing on fine art, boudoir, erotic photography, and more. It was written to protect sex trafficking victims, but has not accomplished its goal, and only harmed creatives and consensual sex workers as a result of it's vague and overreaching terms.  We discuss the broader implications of Project 2025 and Agenda 47, examining how these proposed policies could reshape the future of modeling, photography, and related fields. Through a lens of informed discourse, we unpack the complex relationship between politics, art, and personal freedoms, offering a nuanced perspective on the realities faced by artists today. Listen and learn as we navigate the intricacies of policy, misinformation, and advocacy, encouraging listeners to stay informed, engaged, and proactive in protecting their rights and the vibrant creative communities they cherish.

The Journey Podcast 166Brook UrickWINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE, Inside a Sugar Daddy WebsiteVideo on YouTube channel: TrineDay.Audio at TrineDay.com and the usual podcast platforms.Publisher R. A. “Kris” Millegan speaks with Brook Urick, author of WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE: Sexual Exploits and Secrets from Inside a Sugar Daddy Website, where she reveals the horrors of sex trafficking, fraud, and predatory behavior at the notorious sugar daddy website SeekingArrangement.Brook worked on staff for years while trying her own luck as a sugar baby. Now she says, “We can't allow young women to get involved, sometimes unknowingly, in a life of sex work and abuse as a result of this website.” Her journey continues as a writer and content creator. Learn more at BrookUrick.com.When the New York Times and ABC News interviewed her, she wrote a book proposal, thinking her story was going to be broadcast and a book would help. But those stories didn't run, and no one would publish her book.Then she learned about Kris and TrineDay through Whitney Webb (ONE NATION UNDER BLACKMAIL: The sordid union between Intelligence and Organized Crime that gave rise to Jeffrey Epstein), and Kris published her book, which examines many things, including the psychology of young girls seduced into making bad decisions.A similar website, Backpage, wasn't hiding what it was. It was a Craigs List for sex workers. It was shut down. The 2018 FOSTA-SESTA law holds websites liable for sex trafficking on the internet.So why isn't the DOJ pursuing her former company, now called Seeking? Brook wants to know.“It's really warping girls' minds to think that money should come easy to me because I have this body.” Brook wants girls to know how much your psyche changes as you get older, especially if you seek attention from older men because you had a poor or no relationship with your father.“Women are biologically incapable of having casual sex.” During sex they release oxytocin, “the bonding hormone,” which makes you feel you need to be attached to that man because you might be pregnant. The body tricks you into believing you want to be with him no matter who he is. “No one taught me that, growing up.”Slutty heroines who get all the attention and glory in our culture are bamboozling girls and young women into exploiting themselves, which can get them money and attention, but which is very damaging as you get older. It's hard for girls and young women to see that paradox and that's why Brook wrote her book, to help them avoid similar bad decisions.Our society is rotting because we're being programmed to relate through technology and we're abused through anonymity and gaslit by being told what we see with our own eyes is not what we're seeing, conditioning people to not think for themselves. “If a technology is free to you, then you are the product, not the consumer. People need to understand that their data is valuable, especially their biodata.”Profound questions of identity and self-worth, urgent and important to everyone, especially to young people, are raised by Brook's book. Her advice to young girls and women growing up in this atmosphere is, “Don't chase money. It's very confusing when you're young and you don't have enough money to have your basic needs provided for.”WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGESexual Exploits and Secrets from Inside a Sugar Daddy WebsiteAt TrineDay.com and the usual sellers.Brook Urick worked behind the scenes at the notorious sugar daddy website SeekingArrangement while trying her own luck as a sugar baby.Urick wants the DOJ to take a closer look at this website, especially after legislation called FOSTA-SESTA passed in 2018, making these websites criminally liable. Why is the website still around today? She's wondering the same thing.

Why is it that whenever someone “thinks of the children”, a sex worker is harmed in the process? In this episode, Hannah and Maia tell the story of Backpage - the classifieds website that came crashing down when instances of child sex trafficking was discovered in its seedy underbelly. But while the crusade against the site and its free-wheeling founders seemed well intentioned, the act that was used to take them down (FOSTA-SESTA) has had massive consequences for the freedom of the web, and most importantly, for sex workers. You can never be too altruistic if John McCain is in your corner.

For years, rear view mirrors have urged us to be aware that "objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear." And if you think about it, that's a pretty heady statement for a piece of automotive equipment -- reminding drivers that nothing in reality is exactly what it seems. That was certainly the case for a bunch of despondent youngsters and their families in Glasgow, Scotland, upon entering what was billed to be an interactive, mind-bending, immersive Willy Wonka experience. Instead, the tots and weary parents were faced with something much more reminiscent of a meth lab.   A wonka-style Fyre Fest? You better believe the comparison was drawn.    Around the same time, across the pond, a larger discussion of business liability was discussed in the Supreme Court. The subject? Section 230, a "sword and shield" sort of law that protects companies like Facebook and others from liability based on what people say on their platforms, and provides them with the right to boot folks off of their platforms at their discretion. But perhaps what's most interesting about this story is its inability to be neatly placed in either a red or blue box, politically speaking. Either way, experts are saying that the Internet as we know it hinges upon the sanctity of this law.   So hop on in this haunted gondola ride to the twisted chocolate factory that is this episode of JOURNOS, decide for yourself if this section 230 thing should go the way of a greedy child turned into a blueberry (rolled back) or protected, like a whimsical chocolatier in a funny hat.    NOTES E!

Kids Online Safety Act Infographic Northeast Youth Ministry Summit (Register Now!!!) According to Wikipedia:   The "Kids Online Safety Act" (KOSA) is a bill introduced in the United States Senate by Senators Richard Blumenthal (D‑CT) and Marsha Blackburn (R‑TN) in February 2022[1] and reintroduced in May 2023; the bill establishes guidelines meant to protect minors on social media platforms.[2] The bill charges individual state attorneys general with enforcing the bill.[3] The bill has been criticized by civil rights organizations for potentially enabling censorship, including of material important to marginalized groups.[4]Bill summary[edit] The bill is summarized by the Congressional Research Service with the following: This bill sets out requirements to protect minors from online harms. The requirements apply to covered platforms, which are applications or services (e.g., social networks) that connect to the internet and are likely to be used by minors. However, the bill exempts internet service providers, email services, educational institutions, and other specified entities from the requirements. Additionally, covered platforms must provide (1) minors (or their parents or guardians) with certain safeguards, such as settings that restrict access to minors' personal data; and (2) parents or guardians with tools to supervise minors' use of a platform, such as control of privacy and account settings. Covered platforms must also; disclose specified information, including details regarding the use of personalized recommendation systems and targeted advertising; allow parents, guardians, minors, and schools to report certain harms; refrain from facilitating advertising of age-restricted products or services (e.g., tobacco and gambling) to minors; and annually report on foreseeable risks of harm to minors from using the platform. — Congressional Research Service summary, 118th Congress S. 1409 Criticism[edit] The bill has been criticized by members of the "Don't Delete Art" (DDA) movement and anti-censorship groups due to the chances of increased online surveillance and heavy censorship of artists' work. Along with support from the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Coalition Against Censorship, Fight for the Future, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and the Woodhull Freedom Foundation, DDA has encouraged people to signal their opposition through an online petition that labels KOSA as one of several "Bad Internet Bills."[5] A letter sent to the United States Congress by Evan Greer—director of Fight for the Future—and signed by multiple civil society groups claims that KOSA could backfire and cause more harm to minors.[6][7] Fight for the Future has set up a Stop KOSA website for people to sign a petition and contact lawmakers against the bill.[8] Interpretation of harms[edit] Critics, including the EFF, notes that the bill's definition of harm toward minors leaves room for broad interpretation decided by the state attorneys general who are charged with enforcing the bill,[9][10] likening it to the FOSTA-SESTA bills.[11] The conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation has written that the initial 2022 iteration of KOSA doesn't go far enough, as the bill doesn't explicitly list transgender healthcare as a harm.[12][13] The inclusion of the phrase "consistent with evidence-informed medical information"[14] could be used by attorneys general to cherry-pick anti-trans sources as justification, since there is no definition of what "evidence-based medical information" can include.[15] Senator Blackburn, co-author of the bill, has argued that some education about racism and the civil rights movement overlaps with critical race theory, which she labels a "dangerous ideology" that can inflict "mental and emotional damage" upon children.[16] She has also explicitly stated that the bill will be used to censor content involving the transgender community.[17] EFF columnist Jason Kelly states that in the framework provided by the bill, that KOSA could be used to censor education about racism in schools since it could be claimed that it impacts mental health.[18] References[edit] ^ "Blackburn, Blumenthal Introduce Bipartisan Kids Online Safety Act". blackburn.senate.gov.

In his "emergency" order attempting to ban gender-affirming care, Missouri's attorney general cited a Swedish study that claims there is a lack of evidence to support the efficacy and safety of gender-affirming care. There is no legal definition of "evidence-based." Those are just words. This bill will absolutely allow AGs to go after platforms for recommending speech they don't like to younger users. Tying the duty of care to specific mental health outcomes is also problematic because it will lead to suppression of all discussion around those important but controversial topics. ^ "Why Is Critical Race Theory Dangerous For Our Kids?". U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee.

This episode of the Cyberlaw Podcast kicks off with a stinging defeat for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which could not persuade the courts to suspend the Microsoft-Activision Blizzard acquisition. Mark MacCarthy says that the FTC's loss will pave the way for a complete victory for Microsoft, as other jurisdictions trim their sails. We congratulate Brad Smith, Microsoft's President, whose policy smarts likely helped to construct this win. Meanwhile, the FTC is still doubling down on its determination to pursue aggressive legal theories. Maury Shenk explains the agency's investigation of OpenAI, which raises issues not usually associated with consumer protection. Mark and Maury argue that this is just a variation of the tactic that made the FTC the de facto privacy regulator in the U.S. I ask why policing ChatGPT's hallucinatory libel problem constitutes consumer protection, and they answer, plausibly, that libel is a kind of deception, which the FTC does have authority to police. Mark then helps us drill down on the Associated Press deal licensing its archives to OpenAI, a deal that may turn out to be good for both companies. Nick Weaver and I try to make sense of the district court ruling that Ripple's XRP is a regulated investment contract when provided to sophisticated buyers but not when sold to retail customers in the market. It is hard to say that it makes policy sense, since the securities laws are there to protect the retail customers more than sophisticated buyers. But it does seem to be at least temporary good news for the cryptocurrency exchanges, who now have a basis for offering what the SEC has been calling an unregistered security. And it's clearly bad news for the SEC, which may not be able to litigate its way to the Cryptopocalypse it has been pursuing. Andy Greenberg makes a guest appearance to discuss his WIRED story about the still mysterious mechanism by which Chinese cyberspies acquired the ability to forge Microsoft authentication tokens.  Maury tells us why Meta's Twitter-killer, Threads, won't be available soon in Europe. That leads me to reflect on just how disastrously Brussels has managed the EU's economy. Fifteen years ago, the U.S. and EU had roughly similar GDPs, at about $15 trillion each. Now the EU GDP has scarcely grown, while U.S. GCP is close to $25 trillion. It's hard to believe that EU tech policy hasn't contributed to this continental impoverishment, which Maury points out is even making Brexit look good.  Maury also explains the French police drive to get explicit authority to conduct surveillance through cell phones. Nick offers his take on FISA section 702 reform. Stories. And Maury evaluates Amazon's challenge to new EU content rules, which he thinks have more policy than legal appeal. Not content with his takedown of the Ripple decision, Nick reviews all the criminal cases in which cryptocurrency enthusiasts are embroiled. These include a Chinese bust of Multichain, the sentencing of Variety Jones for his role in the Silk Road crime market, and the arrest of Alex Mashinsky, CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange Celsius. Finally, in quick hits,  Mark and I duel over the lawsuit claiming that Texas's TikTok Ban on government phones will threaten academic freedom. I praise the surprisingly good National Cybersecurity-Strategy Implementation Plan and puzzle over the decision not to nominate the acting head of that office to head the office permanently. And I note that the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act, also known as FOSTA-SESTA, reviled by the left, has withstood a constitutional challenge in the DC Circuit.

This episode of the Cyberlaw Podcast kicks off with a stinging defeat for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which could not persuade the courts to suspend the Microsoft-Activision Blizzard acquisition. Mark MacCarthy says that the FTC's loss will pave the way for a complete victory for Microsoft, as other jurisdictions trim their sails. We congratulate Brad Smith, Microsoft's President, whose policy smarts likely helped to construct this win. Meanwhile, the FTC is still doubling down on its determination to pursue aggressive legal theories. Maury Shenk explains the agency's investigation of OpenAI, which raises issues not usually associated with consumer protection. Mark and Maury argue that this is just a variation of the tactic that made the FTC the de facto privacy regulator in the U.S. I ask why policing ChatGPT's hallucinatory libel problem constitutes consumer protection, and they answer, plausibly, that libel is a kind of deception, which the FTC does have authority to police. Mark then helps us drill down on the Associated Press deal licensing its archives to OpenAI, a deal that may turn out to be good for both companies. Nick Weaver and I try to make sense of the district court ruling that Ripple's XRP is a regulated investment contract when provided to sophisticated buyers but not when sold to retail customers in the market. It is hard to say that it makes policy sense, since the securities laws are there to protect the retail customers more than sophisticated buyers. But it does seem to be at least temporary good news for the cryptocurrency exchanges, who now have a basis for offering what the SEC has been calling an unregistered security. And it's clearly bad news for the SEC, which may not be able to litigate its way to the Cryptopocalypse it has been pursuing. Andy Greenberg makes a guest appearance to discuss his WIRED story about the still mysterious mechanism by which Chinese cyberspies acquired the ability to forge Microsoft authentication tokens.  Maury tells us why Meta's Twitter-killer, Threads, won't be available soon in Europe. That leads me to reflect on just how disastrously Brussels has managed the EU's economy. Fifteen years ago, the U.S. and EU had roughly similar GDPs, at about $15 trillion each. Now the EU GDP has scarcely grown, while U.S. GCP is close to $25 trillion. It's hard to believe that EU tech policy hasn't contributed to this continental impoverishment, which Maury points out is even making Brexit look good.  Maury also explains the French police drive to get explicit authority to conduct surveillance through cell phones. Nick offers his take on FISA section 702 reform.

TO LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE AD FREE, CLICK THIS LINKOur free speech is under attack--from the right and the left right now. Section 230 of the CDA (the 26 words that made the internet) is being challenged by current and potential laws at every level of government, and that's because, in large part, of the dumpster fire that is FOSTA/SESTA, so let's dive in: what is FOSTA/SESTA, how is it impacting us, why does it matter, and what can we do about it?You've been here to talk about moral panics with us...Now let's talk about the current tech panic. That's right folks, the boomers (not your parents or grandparents though, they're cool--we know) in the senate are worried about tHe ChIlDrEn again

On this episode of #mensexpleasure, I chat with the Techy Tantrika, Devika Singh. Devika is a holistic intimacy and self-relationship coach, holistic sex educator, and pleasure-inclusive sex education advocate. Her work focuses on reporting sex/dating tech trends along with normalizing conversations around topics that are still considered ‘taboo' or socially charged. These topics include sex education, pro-sex spirituality, various forms of intimacy, rebirth and transitions (personal transformation), death positivity, and how metaphysics impact how we connect to one another throughout life. Key points: Devika introduces herself Sexual content, censorship, and terms of service FOSTA-SESTA legislation “Think of the children” rhetoric Artificial intelligence and human trafficking Tech billionaires and outrage marketing Sex toys and data privacy Politics and technology Relevant links: Devika's YouTube/Instagram/TikTok: @TheTechyTantrika Devika's website: devika-singh.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cam-fraser/message

The Children's Internet Protection Act is a good starting point to talk about Internet censorship. E-Rate has become an almost invisible restriction on what you can view on library computers. We cover Section 230 adjustments including FOSTA/SESTA and tie it into current political battles over libraries and access to sexual or queer materials. 

Big episode ahead! Very excited to have adult entertainment lawyer, Corey Silverstein, of Silverstein Legal onto the show. Corey is one of the premier adult attorneys in the biz and has many independent creators, adult talent and major corporations backed on his list of clientele. Having been in the adult industry sine the 90s, Corey shifted careers and went on to study law at Purdue University and has been practicing as the managing attorney at Silverstein Legal for 13+ years. He understands the ins and outs of the adult industry and is an outspoken advocate for sex worker rights, decriminalization and mental health amongst sex workers. Corey speaks to us on the importance of having a lawyer as a sex worker, addresses FOSTA/SESTA and unravels how this becomes law in the first place and also discusses accessibility and legal representation. His COVID baby, adult.law, is a subscription service which gives subscribers access to a wealth of legal knowledge, videos, questions and cases for a fraction of what typical lawyer fees look like. Corey even had time to answer specific legal questions for some fans of the show that you definitely don't want to miss. silversteinlegal.com adult.law twitter.com/myadultattorney instagram.com/coreysilverstein Fox Digital is an official partner of the show.

We kick off a jam-packed episode of the Cyberlaw Podcast by flagging the news that ransomware revenue fell substantially in 2022. There is lots of room for error in that Chainalysis finding, Nick Weaver notes, but the effect is large. Among the reasons to think it might also be real is resistance to paying ransoms on the part of companies and their insurers, who are especially concerned about liability for payments to sanctioned ransomware gangs. I also note that a fascinating additional insight from Jon DiMaggio, who infiltrated the Lockbit ransomware gang. He says that Entrust was hit by Lockbit, which threatened to release its internal files, and that the company responded with days of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on Lockbit's infrastructure – and never did pay up. That would be a heartening display of courage. It would also be a felony, at least according to the conventional wisdom that condemns hacking back. So I cannot help thinking there is more to the story. Like, maybe Canadian Security Intelligence Service is joining Australian Signals Directorate in releasing the hounds on ransomware gangs. I look forward to more stories on this undercovered disclosure. Gus Hurwitz offers two explanations for the Federal Aviation Administration system outage, which grounded planes across the country. There's the official version and the conspiracy theory, as with everything else these days. Nick breaks down the latest cryptocurrency failure; this time it's Genesis. Nick's not a fan of this prepackaged bankruptcy. And Gus and I puzzle over the Federal Trade Commission's determination to write regulations to outlaw most non-compete clauses. Justin Sherman, a first-timer on the podcast, covers recent research showing that alleged Russian social media interference had no meaningful effect on the 2016 election. That spurs an outburst from me about the cynical scam that was the “Russia, Russia, Russia” narrative—a kind of 2016 election denial for which the press and the left have never apologized. Nick explains the looming impact of Twitter's interest payment obligation. We're going to learn a lot more about Elon Musk's business plans from how he deals with that crisis than from anything he's tweeted in recent months. It does not get more cyberlawyerly than a case the Supreme Court will be taking up this term—Gonzalez v. Google. This case will put Section 230 squarely on the Court's docket, and the amicus briefs can be measured by the shovelful. The issue is whether YouTube's recommendation of terrorist videos can ever lead to liability—or whether any judgment is barred by Section 230. Gus and I are on different sides of that question, but we agree that this is going to be a hot case, a divided Court, and a big deal. And, just to show that our foray into cyberlaw was no fluke, Gus and I also predict that the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is going to strike down the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act, also known as FOSTA-SESTA—the legislative exception to Section 230 that civil society loves to hate. Its prohibition on promotion of prostitution may fall to first amendment fears on the court, but the practical impact of the law may remain. Next, Justin gives us a quick primer on the national security reasons for regulation of submarine cables. Nick covers the leak of the terror watchlist thanks to an commuter airline's sloppy security. Justin explains TikTok's latest charm offensive in Washington. Finally, I provide an update on the UK's online safety bill, which just keeps getting tougher, from criminal penalties, to “ten percent of revenue” fines, to mandating age checks that may fail technically or drive away users, or both. And I review the latest theatrical offering from Madison Square Garden—“The Revenge of the Lawyers.” You may root for the snake or for the scorpions, but you will not want to miss it.

A woman remembers with shame how she reacted when her then-boyfriend came out to her as bisexual. She hasn't talked to him in 9 years and wants to apologize. Should she? How?  For you sci-fi pervs, what happens to the “eggs” that get deposited with an ovipositor dildo?  On the Magnum, Dan chats with Samantha Cole, senior editor for Vice Media, about her new book “How Sex Changed The Internet And The Internet Changed Sex.” They discuss ancient history of the internet, how furries built the web, Fosta/Sesta and a ton more.  And, a trans man got herpes from a pre-transition hook-up. Now when he discloses his herpes status first thing on Grindr, men reject him. But when he puts it at the end of his profile, they get mad. Should he disclose at all?  Q@Savage.Love. 206-302-2064 Dipsea This episode is brought to you by Dipsea: an app full of hundreds of short, sexy audio stories designed by women for women.

Pay pigs and prayer warriors, we come to you with tragic news. Unfortunately, Kenny has perished in a tragic dressage horse related incident. However, due to their connection to the Kennedys, they will be back and stronger than ever due to the same cybernetics that they gave to Robert Kennedy. And rejoice! for the All-Mother of Big Soy Naturals, the legendary Joan Summer of Eating for Free has arrived to replace Kendall. This week, Ceres and Joan tackle the Protestant sexual politic of the incoming generations. Where every other two bit verified Twitter user has gotten it wrong, your they and she-devils are here to get it right. The duo talk about the trend of sexual puritanism and how it all ties back to FOSTA-SESTA, hyper-individualism, a commodity-based culture, and a rise in the belief that sexual relations should be used only to produce new labor. Stay on that sigma grindset! And by grindset we mean grinding your genitals together in public.

“Evans, who was once subjected to a very strange encounter with President Trump, said she feels Sanders is the most “sensible candidate” because of his plans for “health care and education,” and she isn't nearly as high on the rest of the pool. “Bloomberg is a Trump in sheep's clothing, and it would end up being eight more years of the same crap we've already had. Elizabeth Warren, at one point, had created a bill that would've potentially taken away the bank accounts of sex workers across the country, under the guise of preventing sex trafficking. I'm tired of seeing politicians use the label of ‘sex trafficking' to garner attention for their platforms, when they don't understand that many of the people that are labeled as trafficked are, in fact, consensual sex workers.” The bill Evans is referring to is called the End Banking for Human Traffickers Act, which Warren co-sponsored with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and which would have enabled banks to discriminate against virtually all sex workers by targeting their transactions. (It never passed the Senate.) The Massachusetts senator has since changed her position on sex workers, voicing her support for decriminalization and backing the SAFE Sex Workers Study Act, a House bill aiming to study the effects of FOSTA-SESTA, a pair of so-called anti-sex-trafficking bills that have been criticized as making sex workers' lives more perilous.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

In this podcast, we talk (a lot!) about FOSTA-SESTA and especially Section 230. We even try to make predictions on where Section 230 will head... After that rambling, we discuss Intel and their $20B investment into chip manufacturing. We end on discussing the possibly hopeful future for fuel cell vehicles. Time will tell!

These are fascinating times regarding global social media platforms and who is responsible when someone is exploited through a social media post. Whether it is one of our naive and vulnerable kids playing on line or an unaccompanied minor being lured in by a coyote through social media. Have you ever considered when a minor is exploited online, who is responsible? The parent most often buys the minor a phone and down loads the apps. When downloading an app, you must click on "I agree" to get the app.. Most parents never read the terms of what they agree to including the minimal age requirement of the user. The parent has determined that their child is more responsible than most people their age and overlooks any age requirement believing their child will not violate the terms of the app contract. The child then decides that they are more sophisticated or mature than others and overlooks the rules the parent has agreed to by accessing and downloading apps they are not legally old enough to use. Often they send explicit videos and photos where they end up connecting with a pedophile, pimp or gang member and are violated. The app platform feels they are protected because the parent has "Agreed" to their terms. Additionally the larger app companies have more than 2 Billion users and their position is that their services are offered with the users agreement to terms and conditions and it is impossible for them to monitor every post to see if it contains sexually explicit materials or exploitation of an underage user. Social media is a unique phenomenon. Historically, social media platforms Facebook, Twitter and even some of the world's largest porn sites have contended that they are protected under Section 230 - an internet law that says online platforms are not responsible for third party content posted on the service's site. Social media is not like a public utility where you pay a fee and use the communications device. It is a platform offering the public free access to post a wide range of content words, photos, videos etc provided they agree to abide by their "contract" to use the platform appropriately. In 2018 Congress passed Fosta/Sesta laws signed by then President Trump. In essence these laws hold social media platform organizations responsible for the content that the public has posted on their site. This law makes it illegal to knowingly assist, facilitate, or support sex trafficking, and amend the Section 230 safe harbors of the Communications Decency Act (which make online services immune from civil liability for the actions of their users) to exclude enforcement of federal or state sex trafficking laws from its immunity. Texas' highest court has ruled that Facebook can be held liable for sex trafficking carried out on its social media platforms, after several victims accused the company of knowingly benefiting from its online facilitation. Friday's ruling by the state's Supreme Court allows three civil lawsuits by trafficking victims to proceed against the social media giant, after the court determined that current laws do not permit Facebook, or any other website, to act as a “lawless no-man's-land,” according to the Houston Chronicle.

On March 16, 2021, a gunman opened fired at three different massage parlors in the metropolitan area of Atlanta, Georgia. In less than three hours, 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long shot and killed eight people, six of whom were Asian women. Their names are:Soon Chung Park 박순정 (74 years old)Hyun Jung Grant [김]현정 (51)Sun Cha Kim 김순자 (69)Yong Ae Yue 유용애 (63)Delaina Ashley Yaun (33)Paul Andre Michels (54)Xiaojie Tan 谭小洁 (49)Daoyou Feng 冯道友 (44)Jane Shi and I had scheduled our March 17 interview weeks ago. We deliberated over whether we should go ahead, in light of the previous day's event, and ultimately decided to talk about it. Jane and I discuss the March 16 Atlanta shooting (02:20); how class, citizenship, and the justice system interact in anti-Asian and sex worker violence (10:15); how people can meaningfully engage in the migrant sex worker issue (28:15); Canada's Bill C-7 (30:27); Jane's personal and political formation (38:00); and some of her other work and advocacy.Please note that Jane works as an outreach worker for SWAN Vancouver, an organization that supports and advocates for migrant women engaged in indoor sex work. However, for this interview, she is solely speaking on behalf of herself, and not her organization.BioJane Shi is a writer, poet, editor, community organizer, filmmaker, and dumpling-maker.

Pornography is inextricably linked to sexual exploitation and sex trafficking. In 2020, TraffickingHub, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) and a New York Times article spotlighted the stories of individuals who were sex trafficked or sexually abused in videos shared on the now notorious website, Pornhub. Pornhub and other free porn upload sites like it claim they have no responsibility for the content uploaded by users on their site, so then what are we to do to stop this sexual violence? Listen in to our conversation with NCOSE's Jake Roberson to learn how to navigate this topic and make a difference in your community.Resources: TAT's Man to Man: Address Demand Campaign: https://truckersagainsttrafficking.org/man-to-man-campaign/Resources recommended for compulsive porn use: https://endsexualexploitation.org/resources-struggling/Earn It Act: https://endsexualexploitation.org/articles/earn-it-act-is-our-best-option-to-protect-children-online/Communications Decency Act and Section 230: https://endsexualexploitation.org/articles/human-rights-activists-respond-tech-industry-obstruction-anti-trafficking-legislation/FOSTA SESTA: https://endsexualexploitation.org/articles/sex-trafficking-survivor-melanie-thompson-explains-importance-of-fosta-sesta/Action steps you can take: https://endsexualexploitation.org/doj/Information on PornHub and how to take action against them specifically: https://endsexualexploitation.org/pornhubWhy Self-Regulation Can't Fix Pornhub (or the Pornography Industry): https://endsexualexploitation.org/articles/why-self-regulation-cant-fix-pornhub-or-the-pornography-industry/

What is voluntaryism, and why have I chosen it as my personal philosophy? What's in the News with stories on philanthropy for the win, government protecting itself, censorship, FOSTA/SESTA, and Defense Distributed. And, finally, an Ancap App segment on the Ghost Gunner app and machine that allows you to legally make guns at your home without the government being involved. This episode is brought to you by ZenCash, a cryptocurrency that infuses privacy, anonymity, and security done right. Also brought to you by Free Talk Live, providing you with fresh, pro-liberty content 7 days a week on more than 180 radio stations across the country.    WHAT'S RUSTLING MY JIMMIES As many of you know, I do a separate podcast on the Pax Libertas Productions network called Essential Libertarianism: Selected Readings from Voluntaryist.com. As the name implies, I take articles from Voluntaryist.com and read them so they can be easily digested in audio format by those who may not have time to read articles all day. But why do I do this?   I happened upon a book, Neither Bullets Nor Ballots: Essays on Voluntaryism some time ago that really spoke to me. I had been migrating to a non-political libertarian position for some time, but once I read this book, I was hooked. This book from the early 80's spoke to exactly why I was moving in that direction, so I reached out to the person primarily behind this book and the website Voluntaryist.com to see about doing the new show with his material. He quickly agreed, and now I have just under 40 episodes at EssentialLibertarianism.com covering topics from non-voting to activism, to homeschooling, and so much more, with a ton more episodes to come out.   But, I haven't really taken the time on this show to talk about why I moved into non-political libertarianism, so I thought I would take the time to talk about that on this episode.   Do not fear, this show will not be changing much at all, only some of the items I select for news or segments will change slightly. I also plan to bring some nuggets I've learned from other sources to you as well. Many of those sources can already be found at EssentialLibertarianism.com/books if you are interested in looking through them or purchasing them. This is a list of some of the non-political libertarian books that helped me get to this point.   WHAT'S IN THE NEWS In philanthropy for the win news, love him or hate him, and I understand both sides of that argument, Elon Musk announced on Twitter that he will fund fixing the remaining homes in Flint, Michigan that are still without safe and clean running water. The public health crisis has raged since 2014 when the town changed water sources as a cost-saving measure. In the government protects itself news, a federal court has ruled that Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screeners cannot be held liable for abuse claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). In censorship is real news, prisoners locked away in the United States are offered a few luxuries while serving their sentence, and apparently reading the Game of Thrones books is not always one of them. You would think it would be banned because of the gratuitous violence, but apparently, at least one prison had a different reason for banning the books. In no shit Sherlock news, more police are admitting that FOSTA/SESTA has made it much more difficult to catch pimps and traffickers. In thank you government news, wow, isn't the government gracious! As Harry Brown once said, "the government is good at one thing. It knows how to break your legs, and then hand you a crutch and say, 'See, if it weren't for the government, you wouldn't be able to walk."
