π Understanding FOSTA-SESTA & Platform Protections
Federal ComplianceIn 2018, the United States Congress enacted the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) and the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA). These statutes significantly amended Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. Β§ 230) by removing intermediary liability immunity for online platforms that intentionally facilitate sex trafficking or assist prostitution enterprises.
