After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the focus shifted to technologies of social control. In response, we have built a space for intellectual self-defense. We are a collective of women, sex workers, and citizen journalists committed to investigating corruption and conducting in-depth reporting. Our mission is to share the knowledge and precautions necessary for an informed public—a vital foundation for a healthy democracy.

Our work explores how gender, colonialism, and capitalism intersect with our sex lives. As Noam Chomsky once said:

"Hundreds of billions of dollars are spent to control the public mind."

How do we sift through the noise and unite as a people?

Big Tech, Globalization, and the New Era of Control

Big Tech and globalization have completely changed the game—this is not your grandfather's capitalism. Sex workers aren’t the only ones losing control over their own business data. Big Tech giants now own, analyze, sort, and extract value from our information, profiting from what was once a private and personal exchange. This is more than capitalism—this is techno-feudalism. Sexual behavior, once an intrinsic part of life, has become a privately owned commodity.

Additionally, many sex worker organizations are not founded or run by sex workers. Once corporations were granted personhood and free speech rights, they gained the ability to use their money, power, and influence to redirect activist spaces. Funding often comes from overseas billionaires and hedge fund managers—people who have never done sex work themselves but still shape the conversation. This deliberate misinformation misleads both sex workers and the public.

This is why doing your research is crucial. Ask yourself:

• Where does an organization’s funding come from?

• Who founded and runs it?

• Are they truly representing the voices they claim to support?

The answers aren’t always what they seem.

The Decriminalization Debate: Who’s Really in Control?

A decriminalization bill is on the horizon, yet major women’s organizations have not signed on. Groups like Mass NOW have stated they won’t support it without further research, and they’re right to demand more scrutiny.

Poor and working-class women depend on sex work income to support their families, but the oligarchy is working to redirect this income and power to tech companies and corporate cartels.

The Information War is Here

In 1970, Canadian cultural theorist Marshall McLuhan predicted:

"World War III will be a guerrilla information war with no division between military and civilian participation.”

We are living that war right now.

Women and sex workers, the fight is bigger than you may realize. Sex work isn’t just about labor—it’s about our bodies, minds, families, social structures, and love lives.

And as Voltaire put it:

"If you want to know who rules over you, just look for who you are not allowed to criticize."
