Calling out SESTA Propaganda for what it is (pizzagate)

submitted ago by lawrieraja

I saw a piece of infuriating propaganda posted on /politics today regarding the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act and posted this rebuttal to call it out: https://voat.co/v/politics/2142156

Relates to PG as it pertains to legislative efforts to reign in some of the immunities claimed by trash such as Backpage. There are some blatant lies being pushed to generate grassroots momentum against SESTA and I am hoping readers on this sub can help continue to spread the truth.

I agree with you there. I wrote a post last week about the effects of Clinton legislation in enabling trafficking: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/2130449

I think I see what you mean now about slander/libel, etc. but if I am understanding correctly that argument has existed since the initial passage of the law in '96...

The proposed changes with SESTA are very specific in regards to specifically "sex trafficking of children" and "sex trafficking by force, threats of force, fraud or coercion" so I still don't think I'm quite catching the cross-over between the two. To me there are many faults/loopholes in the original act but I think the trojan horse argument may be conflating two separate outcomes that have arisen over the years due to being poorly written? One being defamation, other being trafficking?
