issue 04: SESTA/FOSTA

[ When we talk about being inclusive in tech, one of the key components is including all major stakeholders that will be impacted by your product in order to avoid causing any type of inconvenience or harm to the user. Creating a product without key stakeholders or representatives from impacted demographics results more in creating something just because you CAN and not because you SHOULD. The impacts of SESTA/FOSTA legislation has had large repercussions on the tech industry and its consumers as a whole! This issue highlights those implications in regards to sex education, consensual sex work and human trafficking. ]
