Flutterby™! : SESTA-FOSTA challenge

Broad anti-trafficking law faces its first Constitutional challenge:

The first lawsuit against the federal law targeting sex work online was filed late Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. On behalf of plaintiffs including Human Rights Watch, the Woodhull Freedom Foundation, and the Internet Archive, along with an individual sex workers’ rights activist, the complaint argues that the law, Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (H.R. 1865), is a violation of the First and Fifth Amendments. The plaintiffs are also asking for a preliminary injunction.

Plaintiffs include the Woodhull Freedom Foundation, Human Rights Watch, and the EFF.
