Republicans have introduced a bill S. 3718 PROTECT Act of 2024 which redefines consent for sex work, effectively making it a crime to pay a performer.

Consent would be invalidated if "economic circumstances" — like paying rent — was a motivating factor to work.

@zemmi @WashRinseRepeat Where would this have an impact outside of RI and NV? Prostitution’s already illegal in almost all of the US

@dogzilla @WashRinseRepeat this would apply to other types of sex work, such as adult entertainers and content creators.

@zemmi @WashRinseRepeat Ah I see - they think they can block OnlyFans and the like? Good luck with that
