This bill is being voted on in the House which will be the death of our beloved Voat, we cannot allow this to happen, WRITE, EMAIL and CALL your Congressman!!!

If this law passes all (((they))) have to do to shut down ANY site is to False Flag sex trafficking and the Feds will move on the site's owners; namely our beloved @puttitout. This must be stopped at all costs!

Removes the protection: to websites that facilitate traffickers in advertising the sale of unlawful sex acts with sex trafficking victims.
Maybe I don't see it, above is the actual text, I read it. You can as well. It is targeted at SEX TRAFFICKING sites. Craigslist, Twitter and Facebook has more of an issue with this than Voat should. Are there Cam Whores on Voat trying to get people to buy their shit?
I do see the connection and domino effect but I am also not stupid. This will pass. It's a matter of time. How about we get the degenerates out of Voat and there's no more worry.
Sex Trafficking is for degenerates and losers. I hope the people behind that shit all die by impalement on rusty rebar.

The /v/DeepFake & /v/facesets sexual degenerates could easily false flag us into CP allegations & the rest would tumble down from there.
CP is directly linked to human trafficking & usually is what law enforcement looks for to get warrants & investigate deeper. It would probably not lead to much unless investigators are compromised but it sure would lead to a load of bullshit for Puttsy to shovel by himself, which I'm sure would please the anti-Voat crowd, rEdditards & powerful folks alike.

While Child Porn is linked, if you read the summary this was started by "Backpage.com" and the ability to pimp out people underage and not. Your point is not lost, I just believe this is less Voat and way more Instagram, Facebook, Craigslist and anywhere else you get trolls getting you to sign up for naked women et. al.

Another article mentioned that Backpage had removed all of the sex-trafficking content but the Senator who put forward the bill still mentioned Backpage 6 times directly. Backpage was just a straw-man which means that all sites that (((they))) don't like are in their cross-hairs.

I agree, but like any law it can be used as a weapon by our ideological opponents even if fruitless in the end... simply to cause grief & try to discourage our admin.
