"Concerns are mounting about how this law would be enforced, particularly the risk of police having unchecked access to people’s devices. This raises serious issues around surveillance and privacy, especially for vulnerable groups like sex workers already facing discrimination and criminalisation.”

As a trained historian who looks at sex work specifically, I can confirm this title isn't clickbait. The right-wing both created Western science, the current colonial wars on sex, and the Western scientific hatred of sex workers

Sex workers told y'all that unchecked state violence vs us, our clients, and our family & friends would not long remain confined to JUST us. But y'all were too busy wanking to exciting fantasies of teenage "sex slaves" in dog crates, international cabals of magical ninja pimps, and brave hero cops.

This is pure misogyny
The Swedish government is now seeking to criminalize the purchase of adult content — equating OnlyFans subscriptions with "the purchase of sexual services," which is already a crime.

Anti-trafficking say its the logical extension of their Nordic Model, which was pioneered in Sweden.
OPINION: Förbjud inte Onlyfans – stärk skyddet för hemmaposörerna
Om hemmaposörerna får betalt ska de betala skatt, inte tvingas ut på internets bakgator.

An ICE contractor says it can scrape adult fan sites for identity data “to connect the dots” between various identities and profiles — OF, JFF, PayPal, CashApp, Fetlife, your mainstream social.

Theoretically can only scrape “live” publicly available data, but terrifying regardless.
New: we've obtained a leaked list of the more than 200 sites, services, apps an ICE surveillance contractor monitors. Bluesky, OnlyFans, many more. Used to track targets. Highly relevant with the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil by ICE. We've published the full list here: www.404media.co/the-200-site...
