On this episode of Women on the Line we look at the recent Trump legislation SESTA/FOSTA and how it impacts sex workers and internet censorship. We chat with Daisy who is the co-founder of All Sex Workers Go To Heaven (ASWGTH) and Sandy who who is a cam model and freelance artist who has studied performance and video art. They chat with us about representation of sex workers on the internet, in feminism, community and in art and how SESTA/FOSTA is impacting them.
