Readit News- right to control distribution of property through a will
- right to control method of remains disposal (up to a point)
- right to dignified treatment (e.g. no desecration of the remains)
- rights against posthumous defamation- rights to control how their likeness, name, and image are used posthumously
I fail to understand how this proposal would be any different.
Now we are at the "just lie" stage.
"We were recently notified that certain games on Steam may violate the rules and standards set forth by our payment processors and their related card networks and banks."
"Recently, we came under scrutiny from our payment processors regarding the nature of some content hosted on itch.io."
It is extremely clear from these official statements that the payment processors actively reached out to these platforms and made at the very least an implication that they could lose access to payments.
Why would anyone believe MasterCard over Steam and Itch?
Most of the jobs you list are FAR safer then prostitution. But yes I would argue there are lots of other jobs that i would outlaw for the same reason. Like Bumfighting, a lot of dodgy construction, self harm, jobs without proper safety equipment, gladiators, and a lot of military recruitment. You are exploiting, or are very likely to be exploiting people in dire situations.
However, that doesn't mean it has to be that way. My personal belief is that it should be treated a similar way to alcohol:
- there are only specific, licensed places where you can get it
- you must be over a certain age
- you cannot enjoy it in public
- establishments have a right to refuse service if you seem intoxicated or belligerent
Plus, adding on security to check for weapons and intervene in the rare case of violence.
In my opinion, if you combine all those regulations, sex work would be more than safe enough for it to not be considered a "dangerous" profession.
That’s sort of like saying American politicians are too sheltered to understand people enjoy fentanyl
Or perhaps you're saying that specifically because it ranks high on the list of most dangerous professions, that it should be outlawed? In that case I hope you're ready to outlaw (again) logging, fishing, roofing, aircraft piloting, derrick operators and more. I hope you've also considered that the reason it's dangerous in the first place is because of the criminalization and lack of regulations governing sex work.
Or perhaps you just think that people are being pressured into doing sex work by their families, and therefore we should throw out the entire profession? In that case we need to be throwing out doctors, lawyers, and engineers.
I'd appreciate some clarification on what exactly the argument is.
The irony, of course, is that the only thing they're a "victim" of is those same politicians.
