Hey, wondering if anyone might be able to answer this question
The new US laws #FOSTA & #SESTA are making it illegal for sites to host sex worker and escort ads - so Wordpress, Google, Twitter, GoDaddy and other sites are deleting their user accounts and directory sites are simply going offline. The site admins don't have the power to stand up to the US government.
This (as you might imagine) is making life harder and thus more dangerous for sex workers which is a damned shame! We who work in the sex industry want to do so safely of course.
I'm going to have to get my own site off GoDaddy before GoDaddy removes it. I could host in the UK, some parts of Australia and other places but I'm looking for a good platform that might be good for sex workers across the globe.
So my question is: how is steemit for a platform that might work for us? as it's decentralised and all posts live on the blockchain, does that mean there is no authority that can force a user off the platform? is there no authority that can delete accounts or force site admins to delete users? If the answers are what I think, then steemit is probably the next big platform for sex workers to start advertising our services.
Any advice or pointers most welcome.
Thanks in Advance, #SeaniLove
