Counterterrorism internet surveillance is being retargeted at sex workers

Wow. Who could have guessed that "evangelical military vets" who are programmed by cults of sexual repression, exploitation, and human/sex trafficking would use surveillance tools to target vulnerable populations (i.e., sex workers)... Just like the FBI...

Evangelicals are programmed by:

I think you have evangelicals confused with the Catholic Church.

I think sex work should be legalized, but I don’t agree with your characterization.

Who could've guessed that when we give law enforcement or the military leeway in violating civil rights in the name of a specific societal concern, they will take that power and start broadening its scope

As always, first promise promise only for the biggest crimes, terrorist et al.. then suddenly it used for someone consuming weed. And then we are all excited to see what happens when the next ruler with dictatorship ambitions comes into place.

All for the good, "I had a bad feeling when voting for it but it was against the bad guys, right?" blablahblah, "noone could have ever expected it", "why do people always assume it goes that way" - bah.

Evangelicals are pretty pro LGBTP these days. Anyhow yes I agree with your post.

I don't think this is factual, see: https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/religious-landscape-stu... or the current controversy in the methodist church as an example.

Their wages should be tied to inflation, certainly.

This might be a surprise to you, but many non US western countries have legalised sex work.
