This article is kind of wild considering the type of organization Talita apparently is. This comment by aldo_14 makes the article's tone seem kind of alarming:
> The OP is using arguably hyperbolic language but the gist is broadly correct based on their website.
> There it says they consider prostitution as violence by men against women (there's no qualifier for consensuality) and similarly pornography as a form of prostitution. It doesn't expressly say they are trying to prevent prostitution / porn in that mission statement, albeit, only to 'combat sex trafficking'.
> Further pages in the site do show a clear advocacy against prostitution (etc) and stateme that (to paraphrase) they don't dismiss some women enter sex work voluntarily but that they don't consider any as happy remaining in that work.
This article makes it seem like the mod is some kind of progressive storyline but the organization is clearly just anti-porn and anti-sex work and using anti-trafficking to attempt to push their message. (I did find their website[1] and came to the same conclusion.)
What is wrong with Polygon? Are they participating in the facade, or just too lazy to do baseline research, or both?
Similar in Canada and strangely it’s tax free, so prostitutes don’t have to pay tax on their “work” despite the activists saying sex work is real work.
