Trump signs 'SESTA-FOSTA' bill targeting online sex-trafficking, enables states and feds to prosecute adult content websites

Trump signed the 'SESTA-FOSTA' bill on Wednesday that gives federal and state prosecutors greater power to pursue websites which host sex-trafficking ads, and enables the victims and state attorneys general to file civil lawsuits against those sites.

Addressing the victims and family members in attendance, the president said, “I’m signing this bill in your honor…You have endured what no person on earth should have to endure.”

The bill, nicknamed “FOSTA” for its title, “Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act,” goes into effect immediately, but its impact was already being seen around the Internet as sites shut down sex-related areas and stopped accepting sex-related advertising.

The 'SESTA-FOSTA' bill amends parts of four Federal Laws, beginning with clarifying that the Communications Decency Act “was never intended to provide legal protection to websites that unlawfully promote and facilitate prostitution.” It adds a clause to the decency act that makes clear it has no effect on civil suits or state criminal cases related to federal sex trafficking crimes.

'SESTA-FOSTA' amends the “Mann Act,” prohibiting interstate prostitution, by adding adding a new section prohibiting using a website to “promote or facilitate the prostitution of another person.”

The bill also amends the law on sex-trafficking to clarify “participating in a venture” as “knowingly assisting, supporting or facilitating a violation” of the law.

And 'SESTA-FOSTA' creates the ability for state attorneys general to bring civil suits against violators of federal prostitution laws.
