   so since the "anti-trafficking" law was passed:

   * backpages has been taken down
   * tumblr has become a shell of its former self
   * craigslist personals no longer exist

   but

   * trafficking has increased
   * prosecutions of trafficking have dramatically decreased and the Trump administration has even proposed to cut the budget for them by 80%

   almost like it was never about trafficking at all, just about attacking queer people and sex workers

      I mean I dont think any groups focused on stopping sex trafficking wanted FOSTA which makes it pathetically obvious that the people behind it don't give a shit
