Is America becoming a surveillance state? Or is it already one? @ReadCashmere uncovered a concerning trend of international sex workers being detained, dehumanized, and deported as the US border. Our reporting led us to believe AI might play a part.

Sex workers should not be expected to bear the brunt of sexual violence so men can have a “right to sex.” Decriminalizing the sex trade is about the right to work and access, not about a right to fuck. No one is entitled to sex, even via sex work.

Alexandra M. Hunt

Our society criminalizes sex & sweeps it under the rug. The consequences are straightforward - there is more violence. Since platforms like Craigslist were banned from advertising sex, serious violent crimes against all women – not just sex workers – has increased by nearly 1/5.
