So FOSTA/SESTA passed and completely disrupted several aspects of the adult entertainment industry online, causing several major escort review sites and message boards to shut down, along with the entire personals section of Craigslist as well as the total sites Backpage and Mojovillage. I wrote about that here.
Now, it appears that the next prong in the attack on American sex workers is to stop them for having access to money. A current bill that has passed the House but has not yet come up for vote in the Senate is the End Banking for Human Traffickers Act. Again, meant to crack down on human trafficking, but will instead take aim at the people that have voluntarily entered into sex work.
