When forced offline, sex workers lose the ability to clearly communicate their services and boundaries in advance, before engaging in in-person sexual exchange for money. While there have been well-documented instances in the past of traffickers and exploiters seeking to use ASWs for sexual exploitation, the recently enacted Online Safety Act includes new legal duties for ASWs to prevent such content appearing on their services. That legislation has come into effect only recently, so we should give it time to bed in and have an impact.
