The SAVE Act, and why it affects sex positive communities

August 1, 2014 by admin

CUSP member Lee Harrington wrote a post about the SAVE Act over on his blog.  Click to read the whole thing:

Have you taken a peek at the SAVE act that is working it’s way through the congress in the US right now? https://cdt.org/insight/save-act-would-chill-online-speech-and-innovation/  https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/anti-backpagecom-bill-will-shut-down-free-speech  http://www.scribd.com/doc/211619502/Stop-Advertising-Victims-of-Exploitation-SAVE-Act  It is well intended in some ways, stating that it is there to help stop child sex trafficking. However, it could affect Fetlife and other such self-posting adult-oriented sites as it makes the hosts potentially liable for 3rd party posting of images and content. That means that if so-and-so turns out to be 16, and were using these site to troll for clients, the website owners could be fined not only for the images they posted, but each “advertisement” etc, under the potential guise of “adult advertising” and “reckless disregard”.
