I appreciate your comment. Do you believe that the government can do better to protect prostitutes from abuse and discrimination? You make an excellent argument but the alternative is also bad. Without intervention, we cannot weed out bad actors from both sex workers and customers resulting in abuse. Yes we have review sites, but once they start to get too much attention then it reaches the ears of the police. Numerous sites for sex work have been shut down over the years. Perhaps nothing should be done and we should chalk it up as the price for doing this kind of business? This is a very difficult situation to address.
Thinking about it now, I wonder if a decentralized economy like steem would alleviate the trust issue without having middle men (e.g. government, pimps)take most of the profit.
