EPISODE 85

Government leaders in Germany and Japan have spoken out boldly against legalizing prostitution. In some instances, they’ve even gone as far as to say that prostitution needs to be completely eradicated! Dani and Haley take a closer look at these stories from around the world and talk about what it means globally as well as here in the United States. There are consequences of legalizing prostitution that we’ve seen within our own country – specifically in Nevada. Survivors have united in support of Jane Doe, a Nevada sex trafficking survivor who was sex trafficked in legal brothel prostitution in Nevada for years.

There is a new law in the U.K. that makes it a criminal offence for pornography to depict strangulation. This new amendment to the Crime and Policing bill requires tech platforms to prevent users from seeing content involving strangulation or choking. Dani Pinter and Haley McNamara take a closer look at this new legal requirement and talk about the dangers of choking as well as the difficulty of getting a similar law passed in the U.S. They then pivot to talk about Wizz, a platform that targets teens with similar matchup features that dating apps like Tinder use. What are the dangers and why did Google and Apple reinstate this app after removing it a few years ago?
