Abstract:
On April 11, 2018, President Donald Trump signed the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017 (FOSTA). The new law amends federal sex trafficking laws, establishes a new federal law criminalizing the promotion or facilitation of prostitution, and amends Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) to exclude from its protection acts that would constitute either a violation of federal sex trafficking laws or a criminal violation of the new federal criminal prostitution law.
