Let’s Talk About Sex Work (with Heaux in the Kneaux)
/How does legislation touted as protecting children from sex trafficking actually harm consenusal sex workers
and serve as a trojan horse attacking encryption and privacy rights of our broader society? What does it mean to do racial justice as a dominatrix? We discuss these questions as well as uplift the work of organizations led by and for sex workers around unionization and digital rights.
Selena the Stripper and the Goddess Cori, hosts of Heaux in the Kneaux podcast join the WBI show to discuss
the 2018 Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA) and Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) as well as their 2020 descendant, the Earn It Act. This is the kick off to our second season where we look forward to inviting hosts of our favorite podcasts onto We Be Imagining to diversify the conversations around privacy, surveillance and digital rights beyond academics.
