Our lawsuit is filed on behalf of five plaintiffs, including two human rights organizations (@HRW and @WoodhullSFA), a digital library (@InternetArchive), an activist for sex workers, and a certified massage therapist.
FOSTA muzzles online speech that protects and advocates for sex workers and forces well-established, general interest community forums offline for fear of criminal charges and heavy civil liability for things their users might share.
FOSTA calls into serious question the legality of online speech that advocates for the decriminalization of sex work, or provides health and safety information to sex workers.
Because of the critical issues at stake, we are asking the court to declare that FOSTA is unconstitutional and that the government be permanently enjoined from enforcing it.
