Oh yeah, America is just GREAT about not banning or imprisoning artists because they drew something that offended someone else who lives in a completely different state even though what they did in their own state was perfectly fine. I’m sure the site would survive there without a continually revolving suite of legal challenges from random states the site isn’t even hosted in, each with their own obscure and regressive laws that they still have on their books from before the civil war! After all, their current administration is SO tolerant of any content that they deem inappropriate for any audience. /s

Yes, the problem being any user submission, including private messages, that contain any sort of promotion of prostitution / solicitation, are immediately the responsibility of the site, as in they’re treated as if the site itself is promoting prostitution. On a NSFW site, that’s several percentage points more likely to happen than on a SFW, and there’s far less a defence of “We didn’t expect this to happen, our site is not meant for this sort of content”, meaning much less leeway or sympathy from prosecutors. Yes, it’s speculative, but it’s a very possible application under the current writing, with a fairly dismal result.There’s several reasons US-based sites have been coming down hard on NSFW, or just outright closing down, and SESTA-FOSTA’s potential for abuse / overzealous application is one of them.

And then you have 50 different laws you have to comply with, instead of one. And if you’re operating in New York someone can still take you to court in North Dakota and now you also have “Interstate Trafficking” to deal with.Congratulations on making the problem even worse.

You’ve never worked in position that was responsible for compliance in a business that was in multiple states, I’m guessing?Because that is not even remotely how it actually works.
