Anti-trans. Anti-SW.

Making online content harder makes it harder for SWers to perform the work they want to. If you don't want to be an in-person SWer and you have the ability, you shouldn't have to. But this will push people towards it.

This goes in turn with FSSWers being arrested & deported.

North Carolina has passed a law — buried in a vicious anti-trans bill — that invalidates model releases for adult creators.

Creators will now be required to detail consent for every single sex act depicted, on every platform it appears on. Previously signed contracts can be dissolved at any time

N.C. Legislature Overrides Veto of State Record Keeping Bill AVN
